Changing out the heater core on a Jeep JK without cutting your dash apart. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the video. I appreciate showing another way that doesn't require draining the AC system or cutting the coolant hoses. I think I get why Jeep did it the way they did, but it makes it hell for the DIY... or those on a budget. Cheers!

Estimate for this repair was over $1200. I did it the easy way myself for under 50 bucks and no problems in 6 yrs and going strong. This is my last wrangler!

Good video. Doing it the right way is more time consuming but probably worth it. On a different note, how did you remove the tombstone tweeters? I have '13 and they appear to be molded as part of the top dash panel.

I’m here from the gates video 2 years ago lol looking at the super Atv belt now. How is it holding up or how did it hold up??

It held up really well. Ended up smoking it trying climb up over some rocks from a stand still. So in a rock crawling setup don’t know how well it would hold up. I know some will say RZR aren’t made for that. But they did make a rock crawling edition so why not. Ended up going back to stock because I needed one right away and that’s I could get locally.

I'm not big on hack jobs, I usually do things the right way which usually involves more work, but in this case I think I'd do the hack. I've watched some videos and it doesn't appear to be a bad alternative and can probably be done in 30 minutes. If it goes out on you again are you gonna do this or the hack?

I had that happen on my 99xj. My ac core was leaking so ended up doing both. It sucked balls just like this.

Well this didn’t show anything on removing the dash and what does this have to do with emptying your AC?

@segamodshop1498 6 ай бұрын

Wasn’t trying to show how to pull the whole dash out. Most people don’t have an a/c machine to recover the Freon so was just trying to so that you could change your heater core without cutting your dash of opening your a/c system.

Bought my first and last jeep wrangler about 6 months ago. Total mistake 😕 they are just overpriced junk. I'll never own another one. Gotta do this in a few days 😪

Sorry to hear you’re having problems with yours. Yes they all have their issues. Have owned Jeep for over 20 years from CJs to JKs and all have their issues. But so does every vehicle out there. But once you lift them and add a bunch of weight to them the issues get worse. I’m sure if you lifted a minivan it would have issues all the time as well. Just got done fixing death wobble on a new diesel gladiator and it was all stock. So yes Jeep still hasn’t figured it out. But they a blast to drive around. Hope you’ll at least enjoy while you own it.

I have a 2007. Never gave me major problems. Amazing car. I love it. Now after 15 years I get this heater core issue. I think it has a right to get sick at this point, so to speak.
