Hey guys, quick question here. I've got a 2001 GT (automatic if that matters) and it's about to be on it's third heater core. We took it in last winter because anti-freeze was puked all over my feet (and I was wearing sandals) so the dealer said that Ford had some problems with them and they'd fix it. Three months later it goes back because it's puking it's anti-freeze out in the garage (and thankfully not on my feet). Not that it's winter time again, we turn the defroster on and the windows turn green. Am I the only one that's having this problem? Or is the stealership screwing me over on this? Your help is as usual appreciated.

there is a TSB on soldering a 10ga wire onto the heater core and grounding it to the engine block

What would that do for you?

heater core failure is do to electrolysis and grounding the core slows down or stops the process
