[Shotimes] Heater Core ?s.

[John Weidenbenner]

George,

I've never seen a brass original heater core in a Taurus, however the 93
shop manual does mention both Al and brass designs. My 93 got a brass
replacement several years ago during the first SHOtimes leaky heater core
hysteria. The original was in fact good, proven by a subsequent pressure
test. The leak was traced back to the heater hose connections at the
firewall. Live and learn.

Have you pressure tested any of the failed heater cores?

You need to get
