Evaporator for Heater Core Reply #15 – November 22, 2009, 04:37:35 PM The restrictor is a separate part.When you're at the salvage yard,just check the heater hoses and you can find them.Just use a screw driver to pull it out of the hose,or slice the hose open. Quote Selected

Evaporator for Heater Core Reply #17 – November 23, 2009, 11:07:23 AM Quote from: 04FordHarleyF250;291628When doing the heater core replacement, make sure you get the heater hose that has the restrictor in it or you can buy the restrictor from LMS and install it in an aftermarket hose. It goes into the fatter one. What really kills a heater core (especially the cheap aftermarket ones) is handling of the rubber hoses that attaches to them. There is very little support from the tubes coming from the heater core and installing/removing the rubber hoses typically causes failure of the heater core.Yeah I've been there before, years back I ripped the tube right out of the core because of those lines LOL...

Evaporator for Heater Core Reply #19 – December 10, 2009, 02:36:25 PM I ended up going with the cheap replacement heater core. It contained several more rows and several more fins for each row and was entirely made (with possible exception to however it is bonded together) of Aluminum. The heat works much better than the last two cores I had in this particular car. I did not put in a flow restrictor, and I will be beating the out of this car...The day I have a heater core failure (my vote is around this time next year...but we'll see) I intend to swap the heater lines over to the evaporator core...I am fitting the evaporator lines with fittings (and caps) to accept the hoses. Anyone who has seen an evaporator core fail when used as a heater core be sure to post up.Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,Cooter Quote Selected
