New Guy here Reply #16 – December 09, 2005, 06:19:32 PM Welcome to the board. As you can see we all get along pretty well here. I found this place cruising TCCoA which is also a good site, but it is definitely more geared towards MN12 (89-97) thunderbirds, cougars, and marks. Quote Selected
New Guy here Reply #17 – December 10, 2005, 09:54:28 AM Welcome to the board. I see you are getting sucked into FOX Fever too. As for your heater core SUCK. In the Window department you could pop the door panel off. Then loosen just a little, that big center bar and move it just a little then work the window. Most of the time I've found that they get a little out of alignment. work it until the window works like it should. Also while you are in there you could add some greese ti the track. Quote Selected

New Guy here Reply #20 – December 13, 2005, 08:51:57 AM I may be paranoid but before you go loose on the core please check the drain hose out of the heater housing.On the engine compartment side of the firewall down where you just can't see it.Mine was plugged with old leaves and stuff, keeping the air flow plenty wet.

The time and photos put into my article are designed in such a way that a home heater core change of 2-3 hours is very possible and, in fact, the norm. It's not that difficult of a job. And it's the right way to do it. Not everyone is comfortable taking a shortcut that could compromise functionality later on.Mine was specd at 7.4 hours to be exact. All I know is that I can freeze all winter instead of paying 403 for it to be replaced. I'll do it myself in spring so I know for the future. Quote Selected

Better to pay $60.00 for a good one and do it once than $20.00 and do it again next year. Although I must say I did twice as fast the second time. if his ac wasn't working could that cause moisture on the windshield? I am not sure but I was thinking that the ac kicked on to dry the heated air. Quote Selected
New Guy here Reply #23 – December 20, 2005, 01:06:05 AM Well I went and replaced that core. Boy was that fun.:D I guess I have done more complicated things on cars but getting to that one bottom bolt under the heater box next to the tranny tunnel sucked. I finally just pulled the passenger seat out to get a good view of that sucker. Anyway, all is well now and that how to article was a big help. Thanks again for all your imput. Quote Selected
