Not sure when Ford started burying the heater core in the dash, but I think yours is stil very simple to replace.

Remove the hoses & a few screws from the heater core housing & pull the core out.

Need more info? Look in your Haynes manual.

Just took a look at my Haynes and yours is easy to replace.

Nows the time to spend the 20 bucks for a Haynes manual for your truck.

Or MUCH better get the factory shop manual for it.

bkdk,

Welcome to FTE!

I'm pretty sure that changing it out in a 1990 is a simple procedure (compared to the later vintage where you have to basically remove the whole dash). I think you just open a trap door that allows access then slide it out.

I think 87XLT's description is pretty good.
