'96 F-150 Heater Core Replacement
Hello! I came across this website by accident and thought that it would be the perfect place to ask:
How difficult is it to replace the heater core in a '96 F-150? Mine has bit the dust, and it seems that it wouldn't be that bad. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc. would be very appreciated.

Now THAT"S what I wanted to hear! I never go to Autozone anyway- and beer is always the last line of the instructions I follow . I had peered under the dash, and it looked that easy, but I didn't wanna kid myself. Thanks for the info! A manual is my next purchase (besides the core). I'm a convert, after owning two '78 Dodge W150's and a '97 Dakota Sport, so I'm a little short in the Ford manual department. I look forward to checking out the site and getting involved.

i'm feeling stupid about removing the heater core from my '96 f250. have read most of the posts saying this is an easy job, i also have read the shop manual which agrees in general with what has been said in the posts here. but here's my problem: i have the glove box out. i also have a black box piece of electronics removed. i have the 7 or so bolts on the plastic heater core box cover removed and the cover is free. but the cover is blocked from sliding up or down or towards the rear of the cab (out of the glove box openiing) by a bar that is part of the dash just under the glove box. the bar does not appear to come out separate from the entire dash assembly. what am i missing?

glad you got it.
i never had that much trouble, even the first time.
when you are talking about the black box, do you mean the inside of the glove box?
you remove the glove box by pushing on the sides and then it hangs upside down, right?
i question buying the cheapest heater core.
you usually get what you pay for.
