92 S10 Heater Core

#1

The dreaded antifreeze on the floor board and the lovely smell!!

I just had the core replaced 2 years ago by a bunch of idiots who left out
half the bolts and most of the duct work unassembled.

I'm going to try and tackle this job myself. I have a few months to get
ready for the task and I will bypass the core for now. How hard will it be
and what kind of tips can you give me?

Lannie,
Let me introduce you to my friend....Mr. Google. www.google.com click on
the option for "Groups" above the search bar. Then click on "alt", then in
the scroll box, move to the listings that cover
alt.asshole-factory...barefoot. Then choose the "autos" option, then the
4x4 option. Click on the link to the group archives, then below the search
box, choose search only in this group. Type in "s-10 heater core" (with or
without the quotations). Without the quotations gets 168 posts on the
subject, and it takes roughly 1 second for it to search. I think you will
find more than you need to know. Or if you want an exact answer, use "Big
Chris heater" in the group specific search. Click on the post from June 26,
2003 and you will find the following:

I did mine without these directions. Sure wish I ask you guys first. Really
good instructions and the seat is a nice thought also. There are some very
helpful people in this group.

This will help you out a lot. As to the price of the core it depends
on what
you get. When I replaced mine I paid 26 bucks for a 94.

That is a good site explaining the process. The only things I would add
to
it is A) remove the passanger side seat. 4 bolts, perhaps a couple of
pieces of plastic, but it'll give you tons more work space. B) This is
one
of the worst jobs to do on your truck -- terrible design -- and you'll
probably be cursing before you're done, so do it when no small children
are
nearby.

Make Google your friend, it's an amazing tool.

I helped my dad do his 84, its not a fun job. You have bolts going from the
inside through the firewall to the engie side so you need two people in a
couple spots. One is down under the blower motor and we dropped it down
between the inner fender and cab. We had to take out the glove box and
radio as to get to the top bolts. I guess I'm lucky the one in my 88 is
still original
