I have a 1987 Ranger that needs the heater core replaced. Do I have to repmove the dash to replace the heater core? Any suggesstions would be appreciated.

 

I replaced heater core on my 92' Ford Ranger. I only had to unbolt the plastic housing beneath the glove compartment and disconnect the corresponding hoses in the engine compartment. It was easy. I am guessing procedure is similar for an 87.'

I purchased a Chilton's manual at the auto parts store, which explained the procedure.

Buy the replacement at a good quality parts store like NAPA. I had to replace my heater core three more times in a very brief period, when I bought it at Checker auto parts.

 

I also experiance on replaceing the heat core of my cousins ranger as daveranger said you just have to unbolt the plastic housing beneath the glove compartment and disconnect the corresponding hoses in the engine compartment. But what i did is i bought the part on line try to seach this site Auto Parts
