I bought mine from Advance (although Bones advised me not to) and paid $20-ish and works like a charm. Heat gets too hot to stand.

I see it everyday owning a Carquest store, Hell I seen it everyday when I was Commercial Parts Pro for the local Advance Auto for two years. Pay the extra money. For dollars more you get a quality part instead of the junk you get from zone and aap.

started the debacle tonight. all I lack is dropping the steering column and unbolting the dash. spent about an hour taking out the center console, glove box, underneath steering column, etc tonight. gonna stop by and grab some silicon and hit a ford dealer for the heater core tomorrow. :patriot:

is there a trick to getting the old heater core out?? i've got everything done and loose, but i can't get the whole hvac unit low enough so i can get the lid open enough to sneak the old heater core out. suggestions here? :hi:

well i somehow managed to take out the two rear screws that held the cover on and after about 45 mins of *&^%$# i finally got that ish outta there. about to go pick up the new one since stokes-trainor just called.
