Wow awesome work man, great video. i went to a couple shops and was gonna charge me from 700-1000 for this job, the part was around 60 bucks. On a day off, couple beers, and a good music playlist and i think i can do it lol. thanks man!
Thanks for the video! I have a '97 that needs the ac core replaced. Will do the heater core at the same time. Really wish you were closer. I would happily pay you to do it! (Mine is even the same color!) Cheers from Washington state.
Olá irmão, muito obrigado por este video. Estou no Brasil, e aqui elas estão quase extintas, mas a minha 5.2 v8 97 ainda vive. Preciso achar aonde entra um pouquinho de água da chuva nela atrás do painel, esse mesmo que você retirou. Por gentileza, será que são muitos parafusos? Acho que todos são de 10' né? E o botão ( D ) off no painel atrás do volante, que desliga a 4 marcha não está desligando quando aperto ele, ai a Cherokee está andando só até a 3 marcha. Saberia se pode ser um fusível? Obrigado amigo 🙏
I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0L. I flushed my heater core & have had it bypassed since getting it from an auction. I just want to test if it's working due to the flush. Does anyone know standing in front looking at the engine which hose in the firewall on the heater core is the inlet & the outlet & which hoses from the thermostat goes into it. I see diagrams showing the heater core brass pipes top & bottom and not right and left next to each other. Thanks in advance.
question on vacuum lines - The hard plastic line going through the cowl that controls the vent matrix. Mine is broke and fell back inside the dash area. Since you were in there, do I have to do this job just to get to that vacuum line to replace it or is there a way to get to it or bypass the area right behind the dash (drill a new hole and come through somewhere else?) thanks
@SzymczykProductions I sure did it and completed it. I replaced both the heater core and the ac one. Be careful taking the hvac housing apart, the blend doors are delicate. There is a 32 steps to removing zj dash write up. Google it.... just use zip lock bags and label them. Goodluck
@@whatwasthat3269 do you live in Florida by any chance? Lmao I need to do this just don't have the time my fiancee is on me about getting the AC back up
Any type of adhesive foam tape will usually work normally you can get it at a local hardware store like Lowe’s should be located close to the windows and doors they call it weather stripping I think. You can also get some from Amazon here is a link to some KAPOOSY Adhesive Foam Tape Single Sided, 1/2 Inch W X 1/4 Inch T Weather Stripping Door Seal, Window Door Draught Excluder Air Conditioner Gasket Foam Tape, Total Length 26 Feet (13ft x 2 Rolls) a.co/d/9HUjpsd
Thank you so much for uploading this, I replaced my heater core many years ago and you really helped my second time go much more quickly!
Thanks for the comment!👍
Dude. That just saved me a ton of time. Thank you
Glad to hear it!👍
What a mess! Thanks for pulling that out. Now I know what I'm trying to work with and how to work around it!
THIS IS AWESOME! hope its this straight forward for my 98 4.0 ZJ, thanks for doing this vid
👍

Great video where u get the foam from that u put around the vent. Already what type of insulation u put on the heater core and heater lines
at 14:31 what is that you're cutting and putting on to the core?? I've got to do this to my jeep in a few days
It’s just an insulating foam that is sticky on one side probably about 1/2” thick
Good morning, I need to do this to my 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee, how much time was involved from beginning to end?
Probably 4-6 hours just a ballpark
@@ChristmanGarage I understand...thank you...good video

It shouldn’t matter the heater core should work either way
@@ChristmanGarage ok thank you brotha!

Unfortunately I don’t think you can get to it. I would try just removing the top dash first and looking down in you might get lucky
thanks!@@ChristmanGarage
What is tool called that you used on the springs on the ac lines
I call them disconnect tools for AC lines you can get them at harbor freight or Amazon 👍
Doing this repair, this weekend. Thanks i think i can do it in a day, and save 1000 bucks
Did you do it? I need to do mine but wow a lot of work when I work 65 hours a week as it is 😅

What kind of or what's the name of the room of foam did you have when you replaced the old foam?

How long would it take an amateur to do this?
Probably an 8 hour day
Great video. I’d recommend changing the title to Grand Cherokee though 😁
