Thanks for your video. I am doing this for the second time. I love my Cummings engine but I hate my Dodge truck and this heater core replacement is one of the reasons.
Thank you so much for this video. I am a old school certified mechanic from the carburetor, points and condenser days but I must say this almost kicked my ass and had been putting it off for almost a year. I had bought a dashskins cover due to my dash disintegrating, ( 3rd Dodge, what's up with your dash plastic) then the heater core started leaking so I had all the parts but was very much procrastinating on this job. So due to the coronavirus and being stuck at home decided it was time to do this. I placed my laptop in the back seat and would play and pause step by step. First off let me add....CHOCK THE WHEELS !!!!!! After lowering the steering column at some point in the process I noticed I was slowly rolling in my driveway. So I engaged the parking break and thought I was good. So now I am at the point of loosening the dash bolts and letting the dash down and I hear this high pitch squealing sound like a belt slipping. I knew I had disconnected the battery and was like, "What the hell is that". The high pitch squealing sound was my wife screaming as I slowly rolled into the back of her Grand Marquis and finally came to a stop. Thank God I disconnected the battery and the air bag didn't smack me in the face....See I was following your instructions but there was nothing about rolling in them. When I let the dash down somehow the brake disengaged. It was a slow roll and minor impact but I almost spilled my Jim Beam. The real challenge came trying to get the new core in. I watched your video and did just like you did. I wiggled and beat the shit out of that heater core. After repeatedly watching the video and more Jim Beam I finally figured it out, it was the edges of the heater core tank that was catching the edges of the box. I took the handle of a screw driver and slightly tapped the edges where the tank and core come together to bend it in and waaallllaaa, it slid right in. Going back together wasn't bad at all and I was smiling like a proud puppy but my wife wasn't impressed until I undocked from her rear bumper. So....Thank you for the video, couldn't have done it without you, this is no job for the faint at heart and it does require half a half gallon of Jim Beam to complete, and chock them wheels...ya'll be safe out there and stay in place. We will get through this.
Ok , I got the heater core to maneuver by sticking a flathead screwdriver between the heater core line and separating the lines to line up the heater core with the black heater core box.
Mine rolled too, on flat ground. I was puzzled because none of these videos showed that! Other than that my only issue was that after getting everything back together I noticed my orange gear indicator wasn’t showing and I played with the white plastic thing, still couldn’t get it back. Guess i’ll just have to count what gear i’m in lol
Thank you for making my day! I watched a bunch of videos and none of them were as helpful as this. I watched the part about getting the new htr core in several times and kept making adjustments till I got in on the 4th or 5th try, Take a break if needed cuz patience, minor adjustments plus some muscle all while you're performing body contortions is required. Worth it too, saved me a thousand bucks!
Nice work! Dashes can be so intimidating. Just take your time. Go for a walk if you get frustrated. Keep track of all screws/clips/etc. Edit PS: Thanks for making this shift go by a little quicker 😎.
It's amazing how difficult they make heater core replacement these days. I have 2nd Gen Ram just like you but still the original core, thank goodness for that.
Wow. Great job getting all those hard camera angles. That was almost as impressive as the fact that your dash cover is not cracked all to he'll already, lol.
Great video made replacing mine a breeze! I have a manual transmission so I had to take out a few different things on the floor but essentially the same. My dash was already cracked but I lost a few chunks during the replacement haha but now I see how to replace that as well. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for the how to! My heater core failed out on my 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 and I basically did everything you did. Just gotta put everything back together now.
best video on this! everyone else cuts the foam pad or the tank but go to 16:22 in the video and watch close at the tubes! just push upon the pad with the tubes then drop the core in, then fish the tubes though... spent 30 minutes trying to get it in then watched this video very closely and that was the trick!
I usually replace all the door sill screws that have a tendency to rust out with some stainless steel screws from the hardware store. It saves a lot of problems at a later date if I need to pull things apart to fix a problem.
Getting ready to order the parts for this job, thanks for posting this vid. Also getting rid of the crappy dash that has disintegrated and replacing it with new stuff. Much cheaper than buying a 70k truck! .
i have a 99 ram... shes 21 years old now.... its cheaper to buy a new one!!! run away run !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the cummins engine is great though still after 330,000 miles, and thats only failed me twice in its life and that was the injection pump both times.
Thank you for this extremely helpful video. I used it to remove and replace the very leaky heater core on my ‘99 Dodge ram 2500 pickup, and aside from breaking some of the very brittle plastic on the dash it went pretty well. My big remaining problem is reattaching the steering column when raised back in place. The ‘nuts’ I removed to lower the column are strange, and I can’t get them to attach to the bolts they came off of when I lowered the column because they are too short. I’ve raised the column as much as possible, but they still won’t thread on because of the odd wings attached to them. Any suggestions that might help? Thanks in advance.
thank you very much sir, i ttacked this job in all the wrong way, I wish I had watched your video first, but anyway after watching your video I breezed through the project omg you were so much help my friend, I am typing on my girl friends account, but seriously you made my day kudos bro tyvm jeff
Good video. Im halfway through this project and you have some good suggestions. I got a quote of $3000.00 to have mechanic do it so I'll put up with a day of frustration.
when disconnecting the battery ALWAYS disconnect the negative side first to avoid an accidental touch to ground a scaring the crap out of yourself or possibly having a battery blow up in your face
Damn you took the long way. Took less than 30 mins on my 96 ram. Removed upper dash and cut the tubes off and used heater hose with double hose clamps on each side.
Let me just say, I'm not a mechanic. Thanks to your video you made a repair that our local mechanic said would cost $900 (which is definitely steep) seem like a walk in the park.
That clip you that you say is not needed it is needed that holds the heater core tubes stationary so they last longer and will not brake again from flopping around.
Pulling the dash look surprisingly easy, mine is leaking just a tad and I need to replace the fuse box while I'm there (asinine the dash has to come out to replace a fuse box).
Can this heater core cause overheating at idle cause i see mines leaks for sure and i replace the whole cooling system except the heater core i unclogged it but notice the leak and still over heats at the light 1997 dodge ram 5.9
Thx for the good Video !! Helps me a Lot. Good Work btw. May U can so more Rep Videos in the RAM May climatronic mine IS mit Working i have to Change all parts i guess 😁
Heater core leak is common on any 20 plus year old vehicle. The big reason is most people don't replace antifreeze with good anti corrosion type and the radiator and heater core rust.
this is kind of a pain.....the dash is alot heavier than you think.....when your ready to put new one in cut the firewall holes so its one big hole....an air body saw works great and it goes in much easier...when all done just take some great stuff exapanding foam and fill it from under the hood....use the firestop kind thats made to take heat..
Hey, your video is misleading. I couldn't remove the dash that fast! 🤣🤣🤣 Just joking. I'm using your video to surprise my husband by fixing his heat. He's frozen 8 years in a row, so I'm hoping your video is detailed enough for me to not mess anything up. Thanks so much!
Planning on changing mine cause the inside of the windshield is fogging up when I turn the defrost on, this video is great and eased my anxiety of tackling this job.. question did the new heater core take care of your fogging issue? And wondering if I should change the ac evaporator while I’m in there
Just finished and it’s a sweat lodge in my truck now, 😂 so much heat and windshield is fog free. Thanks to your video everything went smooth 👍..... next project is trying to piece my dashboard back together.... if anybody has tips I will be appreciative...
Pin this so its on top please I mean chock your wheels even though its still in park as you drop the steering column shit goes into neutral had my ass dragging down the street because I live ontop of a hill had to hit the brake put one of the steering column nuts in to make it go into park crazy ride thats for sure I'm fixing it as I'm watching the video and it does help to cut the heater core pipes on the inside to save the hoses in the engine compartment
Just completed it thanks man for this video have heat now and not blowing steam up on my windshield old one I pulled out looked like its all brass with copper fins put new aluminum in its place
So the question I have is how reliable are the swivel joints on the heater core. I'm pretty sure I have to replace mine. My carpets not wet or discolored but my heat not stay hot. When I turn the blower on high the air cools off and does not stay hot. I have replaced my thermostat already and that didnt fix the issue.
Try flushing the heater core first, and bleed the system afterward. You remove the coolant hoses in the engine bay that send coolant to and from the heater core. Get a garden hose and wash out the core in the opposite direction of normal flow. It'll blow all the shit and corrosion out of the heater core and free up the coolant passages. Them blow the water out with some compressed air. Reconnect your coolant lines, top off the coolant in the radiator, and then bleed the system. You bleed it by parking the truck on a steep incline facing upward with the radiator cap off. That puts the radiator at the highest point in the cooling system and air will rise up to it out of the heater core. Run the engine at 2000 rpm with the heater turned on full blast. When the truck gets up to operating temperature you're done bleeding. Top off the coolant again and put the cap back on. Done. Your heat will likely work again if it was just weak before you started the job. If it still doesn't work, you can flush it again this time pouring radiator flush into the core and letting it soak to loosen the shit up more aggressively, then blow it out with the garden hose. I avoid doing that if possible because old cores can leak in spots if you soak them with a cleaner and open up a weak area of the core that was plugged with debris. Give it a shot.
it was so hard i ended up just returning the new heater core and just spending the money on weed. im with out cool air in my truck. but hey at least a mfka smokin
Im trying to fix my '99 I got as my first truck but my dad keeps telling me just to leave it alone. As bad as I want to fix it he just wont give me the resources. Hes just using my truck as a place to store the parts he takes off his bike. I think I need to just sell this piece of shit and get something that actually runs but I want this truck so bad
I just did this job, my column barely lowered, dash didn’t pull nearly as back as I’ve seen them pull on videos , and son of a bitch was it difficult to get it to drop into the box. Car creators are completely trashcans for making this shit so difficult to do.
Thanks for your video. I am doing this for the second time. I love my Cummings engine but I hate my Dodge truck and this heater core replacement is one of the reasons.
Great job 'ol boy..and yes thanks for the help...take care
Nice!!
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Wish me luck tomorrow
How’d it go?
Thank you out of all the videos I saw you were the best now to finish this job that I am doing
Great video! Very easy to follow step by step instructions! Saved my Mother-in-law a lot of money thanks to you!! Much appreciated
Thank you for taking the time to take a video of this process! very helpful to me.

What year is your truck? I have a 1995 1500.
I'm having the problem of heater core not sliding into box, will try a screwdriver to get it to slide in
Ok , I got the heater core to maneuver by sticking a flathead screwdriver between the heater core line and separating the lines to line up the heater core with the black heater core box.

A great video. Probably one of the best I've seen
This was the most helpful video I’ve seen so far. I’m doing my first heater core tomorrow and I’m a little nervous so thank you for the help.
Nice!!
Thank you for the video!! I appreciate you spending the time to share your knowledge!
After watching you struggle and I struggled it went in. Thanks your video was very helpful
Nice!
This job was awful. One of the hardest to for me to do but your video made it possible for me to get it done. Thank you!

The good thing about the new heater core is the fact you swivel the lines to allow for clearance.
Nice!
@@FixingWithPassion I took the old one out and had the new one in in a couple hours today.
Thank you, with the help of your video I just replaced my heater core in my 98 ram. Awesome, and easy to follow.
Great job man! I've watched almost every video of yours. Keep the awesome videos coming.
Excellent video! I am very impressed at how thoroughly you filmed all the hard to get places. Thank you!
Nice work! Dashes can be so intimidating. Just take your time. Go for a walk if you get frustrated. Keep track of all screws/clips/etc.

PS: Thanks for making this shift go by a little quicker 😎.
Thank you for the video.
You bet!
I'm so glad I found your page.
You made this job look so easy.

Great!!
Thanks man! Your video was super helpful.
Awesome video! Thank you very much! I followed step by step. Excellent explanation and how to video.

I know I'm kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@William Roberto I use flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Achilles James yea, been using Flixzone for since april myself :D
@Achilles James thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!
@William Roberto no problem xD
Did it today on my Truck. No hickups. Took me 4 hours total. Would have been much longer without your video. Thanks!
I'll never complain about replacing the heater core in my Taurus, after watching this. I'm counting my blessings.
True but you drive a Ford and that's a curse 😂😂💯 I'd rather do a heater core than be found on road dead🤣🤣🤣

What about the a/c evaporator coil , is it not best to replace those too while you’re there?
Aint' broke, don't fix it. Opening a can of worms.

How long did it take you to do the job.
Started when I was 22 finished at 37 lol
No actually about 3 hrs taking my time.
Replace the dash while you went to ask that trouble? I sold a truck at a loss a few years ago because I didn’t want to go through all that trouble.
this is kind of a pain.....the dash is alot heavier than you think.....when your ready to put new one in cut the firewall holes so its one big hole....an air body saw works great and it goes in much easier...when all done just take some great stuff exapanding foam and fill it from under the hood....use the firestop kind thats made to take heat..

Nathan Rohrbough - where did you buy the heater core?
I got mine at AutoZone a bit expensive but they had it in stock.
@@Tyler-bk4tj I'm considering a Mopar core, but it doesn't have the swivel lines. Wondering how that would be installed without the swivels.
