Heater Core Replacement

[DocB]

Well, it went and took a leak under the truck. Not a 6-Pack leak, but a tinkle nontheless. And in the middle of a 1600 mile trip. Talk about fogging up the windows. So question-

How long does it take to replace a Heater Core ?
What does ALLDATA say?
Can I do it myself?

TIA,
Bruno.....

I replaced mine about 4 months ago. It is not that bad a few hours is all it took me and im no tech but have some knowledge. I think alldata says 3.5 hrs. good luck.

Alldata shows 1.1h plus .6h to pressure test. Heater Core PN:F81Z18476AA $86.46

Thanks eaton and JS. The info is much appreciated.

JS-Why keep the batteries "in the cab"? and what do you think about the coolant filter?

Batteries are in the cab because I didn't think about putting them on the frame when I was building the sub enclosure. Coolant filter only has ~500mi on it, so no thoughts yet.
