My front heater core went out on my vehicle listed above it is an XLT model. Can I get information on how to take care of this problem? If I am able to look at some pictures or diagrams on how to take care of this problem, it would make things a lot easier to show and explain the process of this project to my son. My son is eleven years old and has worked on any and all projects I have done myself since he was old enough to get a wrench out of my box. Thank You!
