Nice going to try this looks decently strong enough to maybe pull out a couple more times. If really needed
A little tip: I don't know if it was mentioned, I ran through this video quickly. But, if it wasn't mentioned, replace the blend door actuator while replacing the heater core - or ask your mechanic to if you have your heater core replaced. It's the square, light colored plastic part you can see in this video, around the 4 minute mark, in the lower left of the picture/video, just below the yellow, blue and red wires you see. Make sure you buy one that looks exactly like yours. They don't last forever, and they are relatively cheap - but a nightmare to replace. When they go bad, your temperature control won't work when you need to go from warm to cold or cold to warm. Whatever your heat/cold knob setting is on, it will stay that way when the plastic gear inside this little actuator strips. The gear wears out. Do yourself a favor and replace it while it is exposed with the dash out. I had to replace them on our 2003 Explorer, our 2007 Explorer, and my 2007 Ranger. My wife drives me nuts when she reaches over and turns the temp knob very quickly and roughly. That will help to shorten the little plastic gear's life span. Turn the knob slowly.
Hey man thanks a lot I really appreciate it! Great video saved a lot of time and money
What issues were you running into? My struggles to start and some people suggest fuel pump
I cant get the emergency brake eire back into place. Not on the brake shoe but on the middel of the truck. Any suggestions? Thank you
Great video, but the screws are uneachable. It is impossible to get to them.
Man it’s easier to drop the tank 🤷🏼♂️
thats the way im doin it today, good short video though. im not actually messin with the fuel pump thou just dropping the gas tank to replace brake hard line thats rusted out an leaking behind the tank. everything is rusted to sh!t.
The bed is 6 bolts, 3 screws and a single electrical plug. And then you don’t have to crawl around underneath your truck. Way easier to take the bed off.
@@rye_too_quickDamn Right, just took mine off. Took me 15 min and I don't even have Good tools 😂
Thanks!
I was looking for some insight but I don’t think you have a f***ing clue how to do this. My advice is don’t post a video unless it’s going to be helpful to others!.IMHO.
Says the guy having to watch a video on how to charge drum brakes, seems like your the one that don’t have a clue 😂… but thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, feel free to drop a link to your video on how to change drum brakes
Quick question I got the code B00 26 When I turn the steering wheel at a certain position, the airbag light goes away, but when I turn it back to normal, the airbag light comes on and the service airbag message comes on. Do you think the clock is busted? I recently replaced the steering wheel about two months ago, and I just started to have this problem.
@@buddyrebel_Garcia it could be the clock spring but not positive, I was having a weird problem like that one time with the horn and it ended up being the turn signal switch, had a little brass button that wasn’t making good contact in the straight position but did when u turned…
@@RicksRides1 hi thanks for replying. It actually was a clock spring. I replaced it and the code went away. I have no more issues. Thank you.
I tried it. Another piece of advice: Slice the foam backing about 1/2 inch in from the edge of the rubber (don't slice through the rubber). Then pull the strip of foam out to relieve pressure on the rubber (it lets go easily). I was able to pull the rubber much further around the plastic backing without the foam fighting me. Then I screwed it in like you did - no wavy bottom line!
Dammm thanks for that I just used gorilla spray adhesive
Previous owner did that on my current truck and now it's flapping off with a bunch of old glue on it.
Need the name of the metal clip, can’t find the part # on eBay…
www.ebay.com/itm/135012793660?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=7DJ9TptiTWG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ihBQM9gZSWq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Thanks for the idea!! I ended up drilling 2 small holes under the 2 bottom screws, ran zip ties through the holes and through the clip to the left and right of that top mounted screw and it worked perfectly after tightening. I credit your idea for allowing me to come up with mine, appreciate you!!!!
I just used this repair! Thank you!
Omg thank you!!!!! I needed this! Great idea!
How did you attach screws to the dash pad? Also after I completed mine my front signals light wont blink. We replaced the flasher and still the same issue. Was working before installation
So I refer to the Haynes manuals for a lot of repairs on my vehicles and they want you to take the whole dash apart like he's talking about the other guy doing...I knew that it sounded like waaay too much work so that's how I ended up here and this video was PERFECT...thanks for the info🤙
I just super glued mine instead, I held it down into place while it dried. Worked okay, but definitely not perfect or exact factory looking. Certainly better than how crappy it looked before though.
Thank you for this video. Been looking everywhere trying to figure out this is gonna fit in my 72. Life saver
It’s a lot of work with trimming out to make fit but it’s worth it, looks much better.
What electric windows did you use. I want to add it to mine
Thank you for the video, I watched the video fortunately not because I have to replace my heater core right at this moment. But the antenna cable I was trying to tape the new antenna cable to it and it came off, so there’s nothing no way to pull it through now, so I have to take the dash part, anyway thank you very much. Very useful video. I appreciate you.
Well I’m glad my video will be able to help and guide u through this process, hopefully it all goes smooth for you.
What a nightmare I have 2003 xlt 2.3L automatic truck I don't suspect it is leaking bad but I keep smelling ainteefreez when ever I shut truck off I smell it pretty good. And if I turn defrost on early in morning it totally fogs windshield for few seconds I think it's in the early stages of going bad or worse I really hate messing with the dash its probably worth 800 to me let shop do it so I can have the warranty. I thought it was lot easier than what you showed
Honestly it’s not that bad, just start it early on your day off, take your time not to damage anything since these trucks are getting older and the parts are getting harder to find.
What’s the metal piece called that you screwed in? Looking for one and i can’t find the name
A-pillar clip here’s a part number from a seller on eBay 134753199020
Does That Mean Your Heater Core No Good When It Starts Leaking Coolant To Your Carpet On Passenger Side

Poor video
What model is your Chevy
It was a 2005 Chevy Silverado extended cab LS with a 5.3/4l60e.
This looks way easier than other videos I’ve seen.
How it helps and your installation go smoothly

Ok so where is the bottom 4th nut to pull evap core back. I got the top 3 but it still isn't pulling back.
Delete this video you idiot it is absolutely unhelpful and you have no idea what you’re doing!!!! How about adding how to remove the E brake and removing the air box and moving the air conditioning unit out of the way!!!! 🤦🏻 just like an American always doing half the job
I used your trick and rented a pulley puller and the ball joint kit to get the front main seal on and it worked great. You saved my ass!
After doing that video the new seal leaked worse then the last and I leaned a new trick, soak a paper towel in brake cleaner and after u remove seal wipe out all the old oil, repeat until spotless, the on new seal black RTV on the outer mounting surface and a lite layer of grease on the seal that the her Monic balancer rubs up against, and a lite layer of grease on the balancer it self then install, now I’m leak free.
But why does it run like that
I know this is a old video but if anyone’s wondering the two bolts on the driver side that he doesn’t directly point out are underneath the fuse box panel, took me a while to find them so I figured I’d Share
To the left of the fuse panel on mine and the one in this video
Yep that's a ranger all right to close the door you got to give it the old double slam
U ain’t worth a fuck
Show how you took off the dash that would help
I showed where all the screws and bolt holding it on, once you remove them it comes right off.
What year is yours?
2005
How do you remove the pins?
First u have to remove the little grey plastic clips then use a super tiny flat head to work the pins out, I believe they had tabs kinda holding them into place
@@RicksRides1 Thanks! I'll keep trying...
Are the struts very much harder to swap out at same time?? Same method with jack controlling spring under control arm? What should I look out for? Thanks!!
I just noticed this vid is 6 years old 😂🤣😂
I’m sure it would be fine, the car is heavy enough as long as it’s a complete car with the motor and transmission is all in tacked… it’s sad I have to even mention that but with all the stuff I see happening on the internet id just figured I’d throw that in… and even though this video is 6 years old and I no longer own that mustang I still own my original 93 mustang, the all black one.
Bro you’re the man. I just put lowering springs and new struts on my 03 GT. Then did some research and figured I should probably get new plates. Wasn’t looking forward to taking everything apart again, but this makes things way easier. Thanks!
late to the party, but my caprice has the exact same issue. permatex weather strip adhesive is some amazingly sticky stuff and worked perfect for me. part number 81731. it took really long to dry however so youll need to find a way to hold it stiff as it dries
Was there a code present like B0018
I did all of this and now my truck won't start, is there a ground or something that's in the dash that I could have unscrewed?
Make sure you didn’t trip the fuel shut off switch found in the passenger side floor board at the top of the carpet , And then double check to make sure you reconnected every connector including computer if you removed and all battery terminals
So my black wire fell out…can I just connect it in any hole or does it go in a certain one?
It need to be in a certain hole, look at the other side of the harness to see where it need to go on the harness it feel out from.
great video. shave an hour off a 1.5hr job not bad appreciate it.
Great illustration !
How’d you fix the hard line I had the same issue happen when I did mine.not too sure where to find the line
You can buy all the hard lines and repair parts from Autozone or O’reilly
How to you adjust the camber to negative on this on other cars it’s sides.
This video is really helpful. I've done this job once before a few years back and did alot more it seemed. Gotta do it again because the ebay one I bought is leaking again. Got a motorcraft part this time around. This procedure also applies to 95-01 Explorers as mine is a 2000 5.0. BTW, how does the airbag cover come off?
