- This is a almost 15 min video in what to remove to get access to do your heater core on a dodge truck, its time consuming and takes some basic tools, but anyone can do it!!
I need to do mine, your detailed and thorough video. Makes me want to sell it.😂
Lol
or have someone else do it beside me or you.. DAMMMMM thats a lot to do.. unforntally it seem he has done this at least 3 or more time which is a sad state of affairs for the quality of ram..
@@carl2591 👍
Same........
Lol, that's how I got my F150 for $1000...took a day to replace the heater, then another to flush all the garbage out of the system before reconnecting the hoses.
Most common cause of failed heater cores is galvanic corrosion caused by improper grounding along with failing to change the coolant out once every year or so...
Did mine last night went great, appreciate the detailed video. Made the job a breeze to do.
Awesome
Thanks for the video. I dread the day I have to do that. Damn what a PIA.
👍
I'm scared I'll break the plastic. You just pry it off 1 hand likevit ain't shit. You tha man
Lol
I was intimidate after watching this, but it’s really not that bad! Thanks for the video it’s actually very informative. Some details lost in the edit… the start is great, the end tapers off, there are more nuts holding the heater box in.
Also, imo take the time to pull the carpet so you can actually pull the dash, would be time well spent to to not fight it.
Thank you for the video it helped me a lot

I started smelling coolant in my cab today and found a puddle in my passenger weather tech. I wasn't looking forward to it before your video, but now I may just move somewhere I don't need it.
👍
Thank you bro!
Appreciate you
Thanks, this video helped me a lot!
Appreciate you watching
About to do my second one in a week and the job calls for 9 hours. This man made my life easy. Was able to do it in 5 hours minus recharge time.
Thank you buddy! Making my boss a happy man. And me a better tech.
Awesome
Good Lord this is a big job.! Mine might be going to the dealership.
👍
7:29 I seen your video after I done took shit off I didn't need to but there was a bolt or 2 you helped me with I like your style bud keep it up great video
Appreciate it
Magic man Sam go ahead bud looking good. 👍🏻
👍
I’ll save you a ton of time. Just drop the steering column on the floor, no need to pull it. Just take the battery out. No need to remove the coolant reservoir, just recharge around and remove the nut.
@@RoadieRoadrash 👍
Thanks, this saved me a ton of time!
Could you explain this a little more What do you mean by "just recharge around and remove the nut." Thanks
@lavnil85 I removed the inner fender liner, and could access everything I needed. I didnt remove the battery or battery tray.
@@lavnil85 remove the battery. That should give you enough room to get the one “stud” nut behind the coolant reservoir. If you have big arms it may be a problem. If so do the fender well trick
Good job man I love it 👍
👍
Amazing buddy good job
Appreciate you
Great video thank you👍🏼
Thanks
That was a horrible job to have to do. Probably easier to remove the engine, transmission, firewall, and the driver's side duals. Yuck. You did a good job. You did a great job filming it; filming it wasn't easy. Thank you.
Appreciate you
what’s the driver side duals lol
here I was saw the title and thought it was a do it in 15min trick. I'm about to do the AC evaporator core on my '12 1500. I've seen enough videos I think may be able to cheat and disassemble the blower/recirc end of the hvac box without pulling the dash.. may break a few of the back side clips, but that's why they invented rtv.
👍
No need to take coolant bottle out. You can access the nut with a 1/4 flex ratchet and a 10mm socket from in between fender and coolant tank
👍
I did this once on a 96 Grand am I had. Worst job ever ever in your driveway in winter. I have a 2020 Longhorn now. I dread the day I have this problem. There has got to be a way for manufacturers to create a heatercore access panel to avoid all of that.
Hell yeah
looks like im taking mine to a shop
👍
You make that shit look easy
Lol, there not bad
how long did it take to complete the job?
It took me 3 hours
@@Boostismyfriendyou wanna do mine?
I have 2015 2500 5.7 dripping coolant from a/c condensation drain tube, so suspect heater core leak, yesterday a/c worked great today a/c blowing hot
You think I’m on right track with heater core, why did a/c suddenly quit working?
Sounds like it
You stopped too soon, how does the Heater Box come apart and how do you extract the core?
Damn i thought i video that, there is a access panel that covers it, remove it and it comes right out
I used to do them on fox bodies fairly regularly. Mine is leaking on my Ram and this SOB is going to the shop.
Yep
how much did the shop charge
One of my favorite jobs
👍
You are sick man
Wonder what a shop or dealership would charge for this?
800-1000 most the time
What is book time on this? I’m about to do it for a customer and not sure what to charge him
I charge 750-800 labor
DISCLAIMER: 15 minute video, actual labor invested well beyond and subject to the mechanic!!!
@@Larry-j9b definitely
I felt the video feel short of some information. Right from leaning the dash back to a loose air box to a reinstalled dash. What the heck happenes in between. I assume the dash came out of the truck? The air box came out. I got nothing from thos video...
37,000 other viewers got something out of it, if you fallow the steps its very basic, straight forwards on how to get it out, if you sit on your couch and critique your not getting entertainment out a video like this
I did mine put everything together and now don't ignition lights, no crank 😔 I checked all plugs, any ideas? Except the gray plug on column, top of till don't find where
Dang, go back threw and make sure all then are plugged in and your ground wires are tight
am i able to just drop the steering column and rest it on the seat or do i need to take it out completely?
Ether or, i like taking them out so I dont have to worry about breaking anything
I used to work with a guy that we nicknamed the TRIM TERRORIST cuz anytime he done anykind of interior work he would destroy everything
Lol
What about a center counsel truck, much more work?
Yep, you have to start by removing the console
@@Boostismyfriend makes me want to sell it seeing your video 😂
@@slowfiveohh5589 lol
That is beyond ridiculous the amount of work it takes to change the heater core. I need to do exactly this to my 3500….. I’m having second thoughts now
@@Up-hill-Battle 👍
Do you absolutely have to remove the freon to do this? I keep getting a check engine light for low coolant temp and only my passenger side vents get hot and idk if it's because of the thermostat or the heater core. How do I further diagnose it?
If one side is getting hot then the blend door actuator is not working or a door is broken, need to find the leak also
clogged lower half of the heater core. mine did the same thing
Damn what a pain lol
Lol
