1988 Ford E150 - I need detailed information about replacing the heater-core ( I have Haynes and Chilton books for it, but the details are insufficient )
Thank You
Joe

The details are going to be pretty much the same everywhere. Most of them come from the manufacturer and aren't designed with the DIYer in mind.
This is a pretty basic job on this van.

Thank You .. Aside from breaking the connectors, the whole project was pretty simple, and only took about 3 hours - which included having to walk over to NAPA in search of the stupid connectors (NAPA didn't have them, so I got a couple feet of hose, and 4 hose-clamps, and 'faked it')
