Replacement of the heater core on my 2005 Jeep TJ Unlimited (LJ). It should be the same process on most TJ Jeeps. Total Project time is approximately 5.5 hours. This is part 1 of 2, the second video being the reassembly.

Mine doesn't leak (yet) but a few years back I did a flush and reverse flush with the garden hose for the two heater lines and the core. It was amazing watching how much rust and junk came out of just the core. Once it ran clean one direction I swapped the hose and revere flushed it. Even more crap came out. I repeated this three times then reassembled it. Temps for the heater rose 10 degrees at the vents after the flush!!!

I'm glad the video was helpful! Oddly enough, my airbag light came on a few times after mine was done too. All I did was wiggle the connector and it went out and hasn't come back... I dunno!

So if you drill out the spot welds in the bracket that’s in the way of pulling the whole frame out you don’t have to drop the steering wheel at all I just bought two screws and nyelock nuts it saves time

It's not a terrible job, actually. It takes some time but it's not terribly difficult. Just be sure and spray your heater core and a/c evaporator down with soap and water first. I neglected that part and it was pretty smelly for a couple weeks. I'm in Wayne County. You from the area?

Great in-depth quality video! How is the new core working out? I've replaced mine with Spectra/Four Seasons core couple of years ago; but, it's blowing only luke warm air. Lot of people on the forum had a same issue. So, I purchased one from Performance Radiators per forum members' recommendations. Planning to tackle the job in couple of days.

Thanks for the kind words! So far, I don't have any issues with the Four Seasons core aside from it stinking and creating an oily film on the windows for the first couple weeks of use (I should have washed it with soap and detergent before installation). I suspect the heat may not be quite as hot as it used to be, but it's been sufficient for NE Ohio winter which isn't exactly warm. Certainly nothinf worth removing it and starting over, in my opinion. Thanks for watching the channel!

Ever since I found your videos a few months ago I felt like I'd heard your voice before. But I could never place it... until now. I think you sound very similar to Eugene Levy! Have you ever gotten that before? Great videos by the way!
