Please dont tell me my heatercore is gone!!

usually it's one of the solder joints in the core that goes bad, or a plugged passage causing overpressurization...i've blown out three of them in the past, the second one looked like a balloon. then finally i discovered the combination of a parts store heater core and a flowkooler high volume pump do not a reliable heater core make....so i swapped to a normal water pump, my temps only went up 10*, and i'm still running with the same heater core i changed about two years ago with no issues

Put a Flowkooler in my 85 and the original heater core lasted about one hour. Replaced it with a stock Ford replacement and haven't had any problems ..... yet.

It only took me like 2 hours total my first time to pull it and put it back in. I didnt really think it was very hard at all. More of a PITA than anything but not hard by anymeans.

Remind me never to have you work on any car I own .. I don't like 'em butchered

There is no way you can do a professional R & R in 2 hours, your first time, with typical hand tools ... I call

Everything that is time consuming and takes away from our lives is a PITA, not because they are hard.

Sorry to bust your chops, just reads like your post is a little braggartly and false

yea taking out the dash the first time was a biotch.. but putting in back in was very simple.. there are sooooo many damn screws that arent really necessary.. after putting my dash back in, it took about 30 minutes.. i had over 1/2 of the screws left that were supposed to be used lol.. u dont really need em all heh

How do you know if its a job well done? When you have parts left over of course.
