First off, Kudos. But to me, this is where you save up the money and have the work done. Keep in mind, I have rebuilt top ends, replaced engines and transmissions, and other challenging stuff. This is just simply insane. I do NOT do dash removal. Too much chance of problems / rattles later.

@mormandy3 Yeah I know what you mean with this type of a job with I have had no problems or any rattles of any kind, withing taking photos and videos it helped out big time putting it all back together Thanks for watching

The video was bad ass and helped a lot. The bolt on the firewall inside HVAC with the "cut out for service" was a real surprise. Needless to say of the bolts I have left over, I left it out on purpose. Also cut the bottom two in floorboard. Never will I have to get that one out again.

All went back good excpect I don't have dome/courtesy/floor board lights...yet Super crappy job overall, but you helped Bigtime.

Thanks.... Austin TX

@TheSlice69 Thanks for the comments and support! I did have the same interior lighting problem at first but it was just a disconnected wire harness. Over all yeah I would probably cut the lower floor board bolts just to make a furture repair much quicker.

did u replace heater core with oem Delco or an aftermarket one? If aftermarket, can u tell any difference with it?

[smiatacz]

@letterphase I'm not real sure which one I bought but it was a aftermarket part around 50$. This repair video is almost 2 years old and I havent had any problems with the heater core. The one thing i did notice was the after market did not come with the stick on felt like the oem so i just switched the felt to the new one.

would cutting the area near the two studs on the inside allow me to "bypass" removing the wheel well? I'm doing this in a place where removing the wheel will be difficult. I only need to move the HVAC box back a few inches to remove the core. I'm then thinking of "carefully" drilling a hole into the bottomk of the HVAC box to ensure all the coolant comes out (leak). Any thoughts?

i just got done changing mine and it took me and my brother no longer then 3 hours to get to it and replace and another hour to put back the dash.... of course it helped that the black box the heater core was in was a two piece i didnt have to remove from the fire wall just remove the cover on the inside of the vehicle :) oh and you have to drop the steering wheel to pull dash forward which two big bolts under the steering column hold all it up it took us 30 minutes to find lol
