[Shotimes] Heater Core ?s.

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Heikki:
 It's the same as the regular Taurus. Be sure and pressure test the core
before replacing. I know! If you do replace it, pull back the dash from the
passenger side and do not remove it all the way. I removed the seats and
console and dropped the column to the floor. Extra help is a big plus. It's
awkward and easy to damage stuff! I only got a new rattle behind the
instrument cluster. It does not take much to break a vent or gouge the dash
itself up. as always have a Helms manual before starting.
Good luck it's a big job, I have changed ATX transmission's using jack
stands and a floor jack but the heater core is still the top.
