omfg, let me tell you how crappy that was to do. it seems like doing the truck will be a walk in the park compared to this mustang! |

Re: changed my heatercore
What year Mustang?
My 65 Fairlane was a breeze when it came to changing out the heater core. Actually I have never had a problem in any of my old Fords. Of course none of my stuff is newer than 1965. My pickup is the newest thing I own and it dates from the Carter Administration.

Re: changed my heatercore
I changed mine in a 95 mustang, had to drop the steering column and pull the entire dash out.

Re: changed my heatercore
Oh, that explains it.
Yep, that's part of the reason I have no desire to own some of these cars. They are great until something breaks. I like the idea of doing my own work.

Re: changed my heatercore
you saved yourself alot of money too. We charge 8 hours to do one of those, of course it doesn't take that long but anything we have to pull the dash on is 8 hours...... at $80/hr

Re: changed my heatercore
By far the worst job on a Mustang. On my 87 I had to remove the whole dash.
