For what it's worth… I just did my 1990 Ranger and it requires 4 steps. (1) Pull the two heater lines. (2) Remove the four retainer clips on the kick plate. (3) Remove the four 8mm screws under the heater box (in the cab). (4) Slide the old heater core back (away from engine) and then it drops down. Ten minutes!
hi man thanks for this video it help me alot but im having problem locating the cabin air filter can you help me located…i have a 02 Ford ranger 3.0L…thanks again!
I just picked up a 95 b3000 for $200. The owner thought the heater core replacement was too expensive to fix at $800. I just finished with your help. Great job. Just a note. I realized I didn't have to remove the fender well until it was completely out. This truck hadn't been driven for a couple of years because of this problem. The old core was leaking like a siv. A new battery, heater core and it's an awesome truck.
How come you didn't go into detail about taking the airbag out(which can be quite dangerous for a DIY'er,) if you don't know what your doing? Also taking the radio out? And showing how to take disconnect the steering column? I am just thinking these would be helpful tidbits for DIY'ers.
Thank you soooooo much for the video. You are awesome. This will save me time and money. Additionally, and I don't mean to go off topic, but I was wondering if you can provide me with some info on your wheels. They are the exact model I want on my 1997. What size are they and what additional parts did you need to fit them onto your 1996? Again, I have a 1997 XL 2WD. Thanks for any info and your time.
My truck blows heat/AC only on the passenger side, so I'm thinking of pulling the dash to see what's stopping up the system. (Heat coil flushed and now working fine). This is the only video that gives me a clue how to do that. Thanks for posting it.
lets see..you took about five thousand bolts out but you wouldn't take just one more so we could see the freakin holy grail.enjoyed vid otherwise.tx for makin it..
it never fails, big jobs that takes a while and things start to need to be replaced during the winter time. it can't be replaced in the summer time nooooooo it wants you to freeze your finger nails off lol.
When you reattached your steering shaft at that U joint did you have trouble getting it far enough in? I can't get the bolt in and the notch is outside the ujoint.
Just changed the heater core yesterday. Thanks for the video it sure helped. A friend happened to show up at the right time for the actual core replacement. I pried he pulled and we changed it out. Took about 3 hours. Dewatlt cordless 3/8" impact sure helped. 1995 Mazda B3000.

Does it piss anyone else off that they have engineered basic necessities like HEAT in a vehicle to be so labor intensive? It does me!

Bolts behind it are there is a additional nut on the thread that has to be removed that to get the heater core to come farther out
