Discussing heater core replacement in 2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ

While on my last road trip, I noticed a significant amount of coolant leaking down the firewall and also inside the passenger compartment. As we're heading into very cold temperatures, having to replace the heater core was not something I looked forward to.

Thanks for the video my evaporators actually bad I'm having my mechanic do it thinking maybe I should change the heater core too while it's all Off. Anyway now I can justify how expensive it is to have it done and honestly I think he's giving me a pretty fair deal.

If you're already getting the dash torn apart, it probably does make sense to also do the heater core. Looking back on mine, I probably should have replaced the evaporator while I was doing the heater core but I don't really use the AC all that much so wasn't a huge deal for me if it eventually fails.
