Replacing a Bumpside Ford F100 heater core in a matter of minutes! 1967 through 1972 

Literally used this today to figure out where that damn clip went that held the core in while I was cleaning up and sorting out my ‘68 dually. Thanks for having done this … ohh … a year or more ago.

Just did the heater core on my 72 F250 today. For those who are about to tackle this I recommend taking out the cardboard glove box liner if you have dealer installed A/C. It makes reaching the blend door cables a bit more easy. Also the foam that's included with the heater core is adhesive backed. That way you can line the outside of the core for a snug fit helping the inlet and outlet protrude out the firewall a bit more. Thanks for this video it helped a ton!

Thank you for this video. It was much harder finding the part than installing.

Lol, Duff is so cool. Miss my Springer, he would go cut wood with me. Hunt and protected me the whole day, - 20 degrees What a trooper. Tech tip, wood spits a lot easier when it's cold.

Hell, I admit it, I am a ford kinda old man and those tubes, I wound up cutting the old ones off, and making a splice to make reach as it is just something I missed when trying to put back in... its been like a while ago as I am seventy three now and musta been your age when I changed a few. It was a here and there thing. I bought fords cause easy to work on (no pulling a fender to get inner fender off to just change heater motor,) and cheap cause the other kids were very proud of their parts. I used them in the logging trade and no matter how bad that you treated them they went to work everyday and when the engine would rattle, some ninety weight (thinking pattern in those days) and get another month or so out then steal the wife's car and pull the engine and slam it in and get her a new engine on the way cause I earned the change and she had friends for a couple days inconvenience. So damn easy to work on and cheap.... wrecking yards full and so parts were cheap. I could buy that rig that your leaning against for less than two thousand dollars and it was a four speed v8 posi track with other creature features. Even the four wheel drives were only three hundred more. and it came with their best tire and wheel, before factory mags. I got three at a auction in nevada when I went down to buy a cummins 855 and needed something to haul it back it so threw a bid in on the pickup I saw, didn't know it was a package deal but for five hundred apiece and one year old with sixty thousand miles (I didn't know it was possible for that many miles either) but I started it and it ran good so bought it and found myself a thousand light but made it ok. I took one into town and hung a sign on it for eight hundred and a guy bought if from me while I was hanging the sign up. Feeling better got a tow bar and a engine on a pallet to go home in washington state. Never missed a lick and we made it home in two days..... yeah I miss those days bad

Getting caught up on your viedos Lol my dad used to call penetrating oil SKUNK PISS LOL You remind me alot of him been gone 22 years now miss working on cars and trucks with him. Stay safe 👍

Well I replaced my heater core and it absolutely helped with the over heating and smell, but then I found my brakes were sticking and that was actually most of the burning smell. Just about had a fire today. I swear it's one thing after another on that truck. At least old Fords are easy to work on!

Pre-celebrity status Mortske is just as good!! I still watch these older videos.

thank you fit this my 67 started smoking real bad and just flooding out my vents and now I know what I have to do saved my bacon

Nice Ford. We had a 72 Ford XLT Ranger with the 360 V-8. Loved that truck.

what are you doing!! you used too much of the new stuff lol. thanks for the video, it helped alot

Educational fun too!A notre bon job mon ami .salut. Those Canadians are so nice.Thanks for the compliment!

Waahhlll...mortske...ya Did it agaiiin....saved the Day...the day the mechanics Way. 👍

I replaced my heater on my 86 ford with a aluminium one leaked horribly. Check around found old stock copper one thank god .works like a damn

Been there in my 79 camaro! Roll the window down so I can see to drive home! Good times!🤣

That was awesome you are a crazy man!!!,👍👍👍👍

Great video. Getting ready to redo my system and install the 66-67 version controls which were pull knobs rather than the levers. The lever control panel is just obnoxious and I wanna combine that slot with the radio so I can fit a double din touch screen! Nevertheless, me and my 68F100 thanks you for this

The "Holy shit-nikes" at 2:25 earned an instant sub from me, bravo.

My 79 was pretty simple also….about 1.5 hrs …..cleaning up mouse house took 20 minutes ..lol Wish newer vehicles were just as simple..

I've done those so many times like you say easy peasy lol the first one one the hardest

Great video man!~. Learned a lot - laughed even more. :-)

ALWAYS ALWAYS do this when it’s hot!

Immediate like at 2:35. Hilarious commentary throughout

Great little video, really helped me on the job. I little more detail on the heater core retaining clip would help any other morons like me who didn't see how it was oriented when taking it out.

Wish they were all that easy

Roach clip the hose so you don't burn your nose. Got it!

Love tha vidyas keep it up

Way better that removing the whole dash and steering column. 18 minutes vs 8 hours!

"Caught 12% of ot in the bucket" hahaha

That hose popped right out of there like it was Loose as a Goose when I was hot

I've got a '67 F100 I'm gonna do this on. After driving it around for a while on any day I'd think it was overheating because the temp gauge isn't the most accurate, but it would rise a little above halfway and it would smell like a trash fire in the cab. I replaced the thermostat and water pump and still had the same issue but now I'm thinking it's that old heater core. I think I'll end up going though and updating the entire cooling system though and see what happens after that.

In hindsight, doing the replacement in the cab would be doable, I reckon. would safe doing all the cable adjusting. good vid.

The core was easier on my old 69 Torino. That first November night with heat was bliss.

12% in the pan, 100% of the time!

Duff is a puppy in this one

If you ever take Big Orange down to Texas. And you in the ranch land between Dallas and San Antonio with a for sale sign on her. She would be sold within a couple of hours. Because she is a workhorse. And she got personality in my Sci-fi book. The main character drives a 1968 F-100 long bed. And it was bought brand new. And it has been kept brand new. Except for the engines. And the normal parts wearing out and need replacement. Otherwise, she has the roll bar. The driving lights and 31x10 tires. And the maxflow mufflers, And a cd-player. I hope you find a Jeep J-10 or 20 with a blown engine. But a wrecked dodge ram. And make a resto-mod!!!!

I have found it easiest to put the hoses on the heater core then feed it through the firewall. The stems on the replacement cores always seem to be short.

Recently saw this done on modern f150. Entire inside of truck gets removed.

Lol, Duff is like WTF!!!!

I’ve got my water heater set to 140 in the house. My wife says the dishwasher has never worked better; don’t get all hot & bothered I’m the one that ‘does the dishes’. I’d say doing a heater core is one place where getting it warmed up before you work on it doesn’t usually apply... however I am open to input, does it make the hoses easier to remove? Thanks for the video.

What heater core was that? Which brand? I am about to order one but I'd like to avoid those short tubes if possible.

Did you have trouble getting the metal clip between the side air inlet and firewall that helps hold the rubber ductwork on? I got mine off 29 years ago but never got it back on. About drove myself crazy trying but I think that clip is still in my glove box.

Great video but my 72 has the core cover/ lower glove box still having a fight

A couple of years ago I watched a episode of puddins fab shop and he was cleaning up one of his uncle Rick's trucks and it was a red or a orange 1971 Ford f100 ranger fe 390 automatic but the 390 was bad, not a bad truck at all not sure what his uncle did with it last i knew he was talking about parting it out for parts for two other trucks one of which another bumpside Ford truck he had i believe was also a ranger but a f250

I have a green fluid leaking from the bottom of the heater area...is this a sign of a bad heater core or something else? 70 F250. how to prevent all of that coolant from spilling out when you disconnect the hose coming from the radiator at the firewall

Always mark them before removal

Enjoy theease with which it came apart; ain't like that with new cars....

You're back at your old shop the lawn mower guy wasn't there driving by oh boy whatever happened to him only in the mornings right sometimes late evenings who knows

16:00 Reminds me of Bob & Doug pouring the last beer out of Househead’s dish to give to dad! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tonXBiPY93s.html

Theyre not so easy anymore wish they were🤣

Where's the 5% Pear Cider I ordered?

Holy burning heater parts! lol. Not good! Arf, arf time!

What is the origin of the sanwich?

Ah yes, the ethylene glycol sinus treatment. Guaranteed to ail what cures ya!

the only thing easier is the 79 - 86 ford fox body heater core, open the glove box and remove 5 screws

Why do heater cores have to be so hard

Oh sure just throw new parts at her.... New title ... How to JB weld n Liquid Sauter a heater core

What??? No removal of glove box?? No words?? OR BLOOD?? My day will be spent by the first aid kit in shame.

Drain your radiator first
