I have a 93 isuzu rodeo I got it about 2 months ago there was no heater hoses to the heater core . changed the heater core with new one but I do not know what hose to place where .the heater core pipe from fire wall are top and bottom how does the hoses go one top of heater core to botton of moter someone help me .Is the inlet hose the top or bottom hose on the firewall ?
ha ha ive heard it dosent matter but it does matter just hook them up ,and if you hear a gurgeling coming from under the dash that means they are backwards air will get traped in the heater core and gurgle if it gurgles you have the charge hose on the bottom ..it wont hurt anything ,,,it just forces the air out when you start it ...Is the inlet hose the top or bottom hose on the firewall ?
It won't matter at all.

How much to fix a heater core?
I have a Ford Tarus 99 how much would it be to fix a heater core??? Plus if we have changed thermostat, flushed ratiator and heater still don't work it the heater core definatly the problem????How much to fix a heater core?
Ok a few questions for you. Does the blower blow air? And did all the air get out of the system? If it didn't it could be causing a air pocket that won't let the fluid flow. but if all of that is good then it really shouldn't cost that much depending on where you liveHow much to fix a heater core?
When you had done all of the items. When you where running the car did you turn on the heater? It will take some time for the new fluids to make its way back into the core. Start car and turn on the heater. Open radiator cap first to get a good flow. Warm up car. Check after about 10 min. to see if you have good flow in radiator. When there is a good flow. Then check to see if you have heat. Replace radiator cap. Then recheck heater. If not working still, Then check for a collapsed heater feed line hose.How much to fix a heater core?
The labor time needed to make a heater core repair is 5 hours per ALLDATA. The factory heater core is $74.00, so this is not a really quick or cheap repair. I'm guessing from what you have done so far on the vehicle that you are having overheating problems. The only thing that really happens to heater cores is they begin leaking when they get older. If you are having overheating problems....the first thing to check (since you have replaced the thermostat) would be to make sure the electric fan is kicking on like it is supposed to....these are controlled with by a module and I believe they operate at 2 different speeds. I hope this helps.view myspace layouts for myspace

My heater in my truck wont work help.?
I have the thermostat as high it will go and cold air comes out. I just had my fluid flushed by some jackass and since then my a/c quit and now my heater wont work.What might the problem be? Heater core? I already checked all of my fuses.1999 GMC Envoy how hard is it to change the heater core if thats the problem?My heater in my truck wont work help.?
Well if it started after the guy did a tap dance all under your hood you need to take it back to him. Get him to fix it.My heater in my truck wont work help.?
You could have a air lock from the fluid flush. But the heater core should be fine. Did they replace the thermostat when they flushed the fluids?My heater in my truck wont work help.?
fluid flushed and no ac...i once had tune up and got a flat tire...there is a door under dash to direct hot air...it may b stuck closed...ac is compleatly differnt matter unless dash switch is shot.My heater in my truck wont work help.?
you should turn the heater on high,then open hood and check both hoses going to heater core, both should be hot. If not then you have a heater core stopped up or a bad water control valve. If both are hot then there is probably a problem with the vac *** control ed air blend system which controls the amount of cool air mixed with heater warmed air. If your heater core is leaking you will probably have fog on windshield and a smell of glycol.My heater in my truck wont work help.?
the heat sensor is bad just go to autozone an replace itMy heater in my truck wont work help.?
IF the [small] vacuum hose fell off or was taken off that goes inside the vehicle - U will have that problem. butt the air would
just come out the floor vents. The small hose usually connects @ the intake manifold. IF when U accelerate the vent air changes from the upper vents 2 the floor - then its just a vacuum hose.My heater in my truck wont work help.?
the suggestion about checking the hoses is the first place to look since that is the easiest. Next, is to check the vacuum line going to your control head (the part that you move to go from hot to cold) that line comes in from the engine compartment and usually goes into the fire wall where the evaporator core is on the passenger side under the hood. In your situation your blend doors can be controled either electrically or by vacuum. the door you are looking for is behind the radio and control head in the passenger compartment. good luck.

Has anyone changed a heater core in a 95 ford ranger p.u.?
the manual says i have to pull the dash on this model isthis true and if so can anyone give me a clue on how best to go about this. thank youHas anyone changed a heater core in a 95 ford ranger p.u.?
yes you need to cut the dash unless your truck is just a beater. In that case you just cut the casing thats behind the heater core replace the core and then two part epoxy the case back together. It turns a all day job into a 2 hour job.

Anybody every changed a Heater Core on a 1997 Lexus LX450?
My neighbor needs a heater core replaced on her 1997 LX450. Anybody ever tackled this? I know on some of the Lexus models, you have to go as far as taking out the motor mounts and propping the motor up to get to the heater core that is buried between the motor, tranny, and firewall. Others, I know you have to take out the dash. How bad is the LX450, and what does it involve? I am very mechanically inclined, and would like to help my neighbor, so she doesn't have to pay $1,500 at Lexus. Thanks!Anybody every changed a Heater Core on a 1997 Lexus LX450?
I've had the dash out of maybe 10 LX's. (i work at a body shop). Get ready..... The dash pad comes off. You don't have to remove the inner support bar(side to side). Start with the glove box and lower cover. Step by step is hard to explain. I don't have books or help when I pull a dash. The parts are very costly if you brake something. E-mail me please before you start.

I am changing my heater core in my 97 escort... got alot of the dash off cant seem to figure out how to get?
It's in that black box you see.I think the screws are like 5/16 or 1/4.Make sure you drain the radiator and take both heater hoses loose under the hood first.I am changing my heater core in my 97 escort... got alot of the dash off cant seem to figure out how to get?
ewwwww i hate changing heater cores in fords cause you gotta take everything off, i just yanked mine off furiously cause i was mad and tried everything in my 1998 F-150, good luck that nasty smell of whatever it is never goes awayI am changing my heater core in my 97 escort... got alot of the dash off cant seem to figure out how to get?
Most cores in these bodies are do-able, but not
easy. Follow the Ford shop manual on this one
and if you do, you should be OK. Good luck and
I admire your tenacity.

Cavalier heater core?
Seriously how hard will it be to change the heater core in my '97 chevy cavalier? How long will it take. I was told it will be over an 8 hr job and was given an estimate of $625.Cavalier heater core?
Cavalier heater core is located in the middle of the dash, pretty much in line with the gear shifter and console. They arent hard to do, just awkward to get to. Then heater hoses can be difficult to get to, sometimes you have to jack the car up and access them from underneath.
Call around and get 2 or 3 quotes before you pay out the $625. Cavalier heater core?
sounds about right... sucksCavalier heater core?
It should only take a skilled professional 1-3 hours. I have never worked on a chevy cavalier but it should be accessible from under the dash on the passengers side.Cavalier heater core?
I hate to say this but that sounds about right. You can't just yank the housing down to get it out. Half the bloody dash has to come out. SORRY for your loss. This is why people scrap their cars. The repairs start to cost more than the car is worth.Cavalier heater core?
Depending on where u go this should range from $150.00-$400.00 I would try a know mechanic that knows his stuff and or small mechanic's shop that would charge u wayyyyyy less.Its hard but not that xpensive.Shops charge by the hour and home based mechs.dont they charge by the job.Cavalier heater core?
the part costs 40 dollars at autozone. get another opinion on time. my sisters boyfriend put mine in my sunfire in about 4hrscan't install webcam bird
