Thank you so very much for this video, I am a single mother and following this step by step helped me replace my heater core by myself, I can’t afford to take my truck into a shop. It’s our only vehicle so Thank you this is an awesome video.
I have literally been driving my truck with a backseat full of blankets to keep warm because this repair intimidates me. After watching I am gonna give it a try for sure. Thanks for posting this!
I checked out at "removing the steering wheel parts" 😂 I didn't think it would be this extensive but major respect for you and all the mechanics out there! This would probably take me about 10 hours
Thank you for posting this excellent video. Just got done doing my 2005 F150. Took me 5 hours which I thought was pretty darn good for an old farmer from Iowa who does his own vehicle maintenance. But, I feel like I cheated. I watched your video and cut my labor by at least half. You are a master of simplified instruction. Again.......THANK YOU!
Solid video! 4 beers, 1 snapped bolt, 1 lost bolt, 1 blown ac line connection, and 4 and a half hours later, I was finally finished replacing it. Time to put it back together!
I've been a mechanic for over 40yrs, this is an excellent video, most videos you have to watch them take out every damn bolt, this was concise and to the point. I would add the the heater box mounting nut by the AC dryer is double nutted, you're better off if you pull the battery and pcm and get them out of the way, the ac dryer has to come off to get to the second nut
...or you can do what I did and Sawzall that plastic piece of crap out of the way ...even with THAT shortcut, it took longer than 15 minutes and it would take more than 15 minutes screwing around with that dryer let alone the whole job
@@michaelhoenes what's "wah-wah-wah" about that you idiot? I was sharing USEFUL information. The only USELESS information that you can provide is an insult where one isn't needed or justified 🤡
My guy... SHEWWW.... I COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOUR VIDEO. Just got done a few hours ago and it took me about 5 hours of active work, sat/sun minus waiting on friends to help you remove the dash and put it back in place. Everything is working great, no leaks and 140° f temps from the vent. Thank you so much for putting out this very good and very short to the point video. I only had one nut and one bolt left over lol 🤷♂️🙄👉 sending it. It was way more difficult because of not having an AC machine and being able to disconnect the AC lines, But eventually I got it done. Thank you again. Best video for 2004 to 2008 F-150 heater core replacement. Subscribed an rung the bell 🥂
I'd like to add a note for others in the future. When you are reinstalling the steering column, don't worry about getting the steering shaft into the steering column before you bolt it up. There is enough slack in the steering shaft that you can get it onto the steering column and install the bolt even though you've already mounted the steering column. Hope this helps, if anybody in the future needs further help, just comment right here.
We replaced my heater core today using your video , thanks for posting it. Getting that sweet spot with a pry bar .. gently prying ... with 2 people wiggling the air box around surely helped
Thank you for this video! I have almost no mechanical experience whatsoever. Just a desire to save myself $1,000, and I was able to do this in about 6 hours!
I'm about to do this for my 07 f150 for the first time. I've heard it's a tough job but after watching your video I am completely confident i can do it now. Thank you. Awesome video!!
First of all thanks for the video it is very well done. I had to remove my PCM and battery to get to the nut in the engine bay. Even after loosening all of the bolts the heater core was still difficult to remove. If your old heater core was rusted, recommend flushing your coolant system before refilling.
Thank you for posting this. I’ve done the earlier F1 50s where you pull the dash to the side this one actually seems easier! Top tip on cutting the gasket!
Man, thank you for the vid, it was super helpful. I did find that you don't "need" to remove the whole column though. I took out the keeper bolt that keeps the steering shaft together and disconnected the shift cable and left the rest alone, seemed to work just fine, maybe a thought for next time? Either way, thanks again, much appreciated.
Great tutorial. Ford Engineers give no detailed instructions on Heater Core Removal. Thanks, I really appreciate you showing something the Factory reps should have shown.
One of the best DYI videos I’ve ever watched…took me 25-30 minutes get the heater core out, this because I went really, really slow…this would have taken me a 12 hour day without this video - THANK YOU😊
Replacing mine tomorrow before this big freeze comes in. Hopefully this video turns an all day thing into something me and pawpaw can knock out before lunch.
@@Boostismyfriend this is seriously the best video I've ever seen on instructions. No wasted time and tips on how to get those wierd connections off. Sometimes those plastics can take for ever because your terrified of breaking them
Excellent video!! Thank you for taking the time to make this. It helped so much for my 1st go at my core in 08 f150. Only problem i had was mine has heater vents going to back seat so some extra wrist breaking action was required to detach the lower connecting vent box so i could pry the main box back. But this video took all the guess work out and I was able to have the dash out in about an hour by myself.. that thing is freaking heavy btw :þ lol. Thanks again for an awesome walk through.
Great work. My trick for this job is pull the hoses first, then flush good with water. That way when the core comes out you don't sling A/F all over the place only water.
I unhooked everything as u did, but I can’t seem to get the heater core out. The heater core lines are about an inch or so from coming out. I need a little more clearance
Hey thanks for the video! Supper helpful! The only thing that tricked me up was the darn double nut situation on the AC dryer. I ended up just drilling the plastic out so a socket would fit then added a washer on the outside to put it back together. I guess you could get an open end back there if you’re more skilled with those things then me. Taking the battery and battery box out helps. I like your comment “we had a little revaluation” haha! The floor vent can make it tricky too but with enough wrestling it’ll come out.
This was a great tutorial I have a 06 Lincoln Mark LT and I have gotten all the way to point of trying to take the heater core out and for the love of God I can't pull the black box back far enough to get the heater core out!!!! It's still a great tutorial and to the point and very directional in where to locate every thing. Just wish I can finish the job and replace the heater core.
Thanks for taking the time to create this. Today I will attempt this job for my first time. I have a couple of critiques just to share what could have made this video better for me personally. I don’t mean this negatively at all, just thought you might benefit for future videos/more views if that is the direction you are going. 1. Add a list of tools, sizes needed in the description. 2. Show how the clips and such unclip. Ex. Those hose connectors you push in and squeeze. Right now I have never encountered that so I’m not sure what to expect. I also don’t know how to remove the locks from the core and install on the new core. I don’t want to break them. Overall, thanks for your helpful vid and good luck in the future.
This was a great video. My 08 started pouring steam? out of vents after I picked it up from mechanic last night after he replaced my alternator then it did it on the way to work this morning but then it stopped doing it and there was no smell to it steam/smoke whatever it was
Awesome video young man I can change the heater core in a 67 Camaro all the way up to the '80s with my eyes closed literally but this Ford holy s*** thank you very much good job take care and be safe
I appreciate your video it helped me out so much. I have a question for you. I did everything exactly like you did but now I have an issue with the gas gauge and radio not working. Also when I turn the headlights on the truck completely dies. What do you think is going on? Any help would be much appreciated
I agree. I've got an estimate of $800 from a local mechanic. I'll gladly spend that to avoid taking this on. My main concern wouldn't be taking everything apart... it would be putting it back together. I would wind up with 5 extra bolts and a permanently rattling and squeaking dash and half my gauges wouldn't work, lol. But it was a great video. I love your style... you don't waste time on nonsense. It is right to the point on the important stuff. BRAVO
After watching the video I too thought a "2"?! This looked like a difficulty rating of 13. Lol I really want to tackle this but the putting it back together part has me nervous. I really enjoyed your video though, thank you!!
I know the heater core was bad so when removing next time wouldn't it be best just to cut the pipes and pull the core out it's the new one going in that you have to be careful with
How important is that gasket if it breaks trying to get out the heater core as you did? Will it affect outside elements from sealing off effectively? I need to replace my heater core in my 05 f150. Thank you for the info.
Thanks again for the tutorial! Man it really helped!! Thanks a bunch!! Although mine gave me a little more fight as far as pulling the old heater core out but a little bending hose connections and out it came. Smaller fight getting the new one in and when I was trying to give a good push my shoulder was also pressing hard against the window and managed to put a nice crack in it lol! And the inner dash bolts for removing and installing I had to use a magnet and my phone camera.
do you know if it leaks coolant under the engine and not in the truck if it is still the heater core? I had mine replaced 5 years ago so not sure why it would be going out again. I have leaking antifreeze under the truck and smoke coming in through my vents.
Ok last question I hope. Where was the replacement core purchased and were you able to pry it in there? The stem on mine is about 1/2 inch too long to clear the firewall
Do you have to mark the steering column on the joint so you get it back inline with the front tires? I was wondering if the alignment would be off If it wasn't put back in the same spline
Great video buddy.you helped me get it done.heat is super hot now..only issues are my fuel gauge isn't working and the airbag light is on Any idea what it might be? I checked the connectors so maybe I missed something.thx again 👍
If you did not get the wheel dead center, it will snap the clock spring, fuel gauge should work off the obd2 port along with the tach and other gauges, if its the only one not working it’s probably the sending unit in the tank
Hey man I finally got it solved. There's a 10mm bolt on a white wiring harness on the drivers side kick panel .it was a little loose.plus I had a bunch of water in that area from a big storm. We good now.finally. thanks for your video again .,👍
After watching this i'm wandering if I could cut a hole in the top of my dash to access the heater core, then just either fix the dash or put a cover on it. :)
my truck shifted into neutral and rolled onto the street luckily nothing was damaged. the shift lever is dangerous . this happened when the dash was being lifted off
You don't need to remove the steering column just disconnect he one bolt on the shaft and the whole dash will slide out after you take the bolts our and disconnect the wires at the side of the dash.
Please help! I cannot get the black box back into place. Where the bottom of the black box bolts at the bottom, I noticed there was a spot leaking clear liquid. Is that something with the AC that I tore???
@@Boostismyfriend okay sweet thanks. I thought I had busted something on the AC because I smelled a strong sweet odor, but I reckon now that it was just the puddle of coolant from the busted heater core. Thanks man, your walkthrough and support has been awesome!!!
@@Boostismyfriend i am in Raleigh. Let me think about this. I have in-laws in High Point i occasionally visit. Let me confirm first its the core. Maybe Ill try sealant as a bandaid until i can make it out your way.

You don't need to remove the steering column just disconnect he one bolt on the shaft and the whole dash will slide out after you take the bolts our and disconnect the wires at the side of the dash.

Which bolt is the one he’s talking about?
@@cluhendrix8432 take the one bolt on the shaft under the hood. The shaft will slide through the fire wall. Much of this is unnecessary. .
