Thanks for the video, my 97 Isuzu hombre needs heater core changed. About to start taking it the dash. Thanks again!

Appreciate the video man Definitely helps with my s-10 retro mod build

i have a RHD Version of the Suburban (Holden Suburban Australia) This dashboard is literally a mirror image of this setup right down to the heater core. I lowered steering column and tilted the dash. That gave me enough room to get to the Heater core. Just swap the pipes on the LHD Heater core and you are good to go! (that's the plan)

Thanks so much for the insight. This definitely helps!

Thank you! I was struggling and couldn't find the last 3 bolts.

Great video man thank you

So when i was young with my first truck 95 gmc 1500, I took the dash completely out and all the trim to paint it. Now I drive a 95 s10, just bought 3 cans of black paint bc I wanna do this again, specially since I have tint now the black interior will make the tint darker, already got the headliner black and the seats, idk what imma do for the carpet but that’s not big of a deal. But yea I’m just commenting to help ur video, gonna help me pull this out, idk bout today tho bc I’m hungover smh. Last time drinking that’s for sure

I just bypass the heater core but I live in Phoenix so I don't need a heater lol. That cat was using the seat to sharpen claws just like my cat haha

Lol I had feeling that after you got it all apart and took it off ....that the hoses were probably just loose.

Oh HELL yes. Just in time to replace my dash bulbs in my '97 Blazer. Much OBLIGED for the video >:0

Helpful video thanks

Love all the cursing lol. Thanks for the tips man

Geez, this is a lot of work. I'd rather take my engine apart again before doing this..

I absolutely love the music, I listen to similar music when I take apart my truck. Do you happen to know the singer? My Shazam couldn’t pick it up. Edit: sorry everyone else seems to dislike it so much. Everyone’s has there own background music they like to listen to when they work on stuff. I hope you have a great rest of the week.

Great video man.. My 96chevy us leaking from somewhere in the heat core.. I haven't check yet where exactly come from

This going to be the same process for the 97 S10 Blazer?

Not sure why the heater core needed replaced? There was a small amount of something at the bottom of the core, but I didn't see any evidence inside the box that the core itself was leaking?

just put it in the water and pressurize the core and looks for bubble.

I’m replacing my heating core for my 1996 s10 right now and I’ve been watching this video as a reference I am having troubles taking tha hand break off to take the bottom brown part of the dash off. How did you take the hand break ofd

I hope you have something else to drive. Just in case you can't get it all back together within a few days. My ex father in law decided to fix his heater core in his 87 jeep Cherokee one time. Took him about 2 weeks to still not get it fixed. I tried to help him,but I didn't know what to do. I'm not the one who took it apart. I would have took pictures and I'd have probably bought the repair manual too.. If you're replacing the heater Core in one of these S-10's or Blazers I'd change the blend door actuator too,those are notorious for going bad. On 96 & 97 you're sposta pull the dash to replace it. I know a faster way,but it involves cutting the glove box. And if you have big hands,forget it.If it blows hot or cold air all the time,or the A/C works,but blows lukewarm air all the time. It's probably the blend door actuator or the vacuum switch behind the dials on the dash. There's also a round gold colored ballast resistor behind the dials next to the vacuum switch plug. You can test that with a voltmeter. It should start with low voltage,almost zero voltage turn the dial up and the voltage should go all the way up to battery voltage,about 12 volts +. Hopefully that helps somebody because pulling these dashboards are a B. Sometimes,probably most of the time it costs more to fix,than the truck is even worth,if you take it to a shop. If you don't really GAF about the heater working. You can always take the big 3/4 in heater hose and run it back into the water pump where the other heater hose goes. Use 2 clamps because that hose is smaller it's 5/8. You won't have heat,but at least you'll be able to drive it. Sometimes the blend door itself breaks. Its inside the A/C dryer box connected to the firewall. There's an access panel on top. Take it off to see if the door itself is broken. Its down and to the left. Turn the heat on and off turn the A/C on/off see if it moves. If it doesn't,it's probably the blend door actuator. Probably... maybe a rodent nest is blocking it? I've seen that happen too. Peace out and good luck.

You gave yourself extra work by removing the dash completely you only need to be able to tilt it to get it out.. but then again I can’t on mine because apparently they made the heater control panel Vacuum operated in 94

I got a 4.3 1997 s10 truck ex cab sport side bed wheres the cabin air filters?please help.

fuck ...!!!! that .....that's lots of WORK man👍

Did you have to cut wire or did everything have plugs

How long did this take you?

I came across this video, and all that work of removing the seats and the whole dash isn't really necessary, heater core can be replaced with just pivoting the dash at the bottom of itself after removing the top screws and steering column nuts, and undoing the main harness just to the left of the steering column.

Not a difficult job really. I prefer to do these versus an f150. Fine both prefer the blazer/s10 heater core

Had corrosion issues with Dex Cool on my 1995 , after pulling engine, replacing head gasket , radiator and heater core , refilled coolant with the orange Preston that is GM Dex Cool approved. Never use Dex Cool if you can help it.

Like the music,,,, trying to find on itunes

I'd be finding that cat a new home if it was clawing at my seats

Boy you need to wear a nomex in that thing

Why do people blank out their tags when everyone on the road sees them ?

Kitty!

I had to do this about 3 years ago and watched this video and definitely a big pain in the ass. I ended up not having to remove so much and being able to get to it but my biggest issue was I broke the piece of shit emergency flasher button on top the steering column. I thought ok no big deal but turns out you can't find OEM ones just shitty aftermarket ones and the one I got still sometimes randomly causes shit to go haywire like blinkers coming on out of the blue or hitting turn signal causing something else. Has to be the dumbest design in the history of mankind. Who designs this crap anyways?

dude, get a shop vac

Was the crap music realy needed?

My s10 has pennies as washers

more easily

Lmmfao

It’s too much work

Dump the jungle jive music and the foul language

Screw it. To much work for my $1000.00 s10. I'm gonna buy a power inverter & $30.00 electric heater from wal-mart.😎

My apologies, I could not watch this video, I did not care for the background music

This would be MUCH better.......Why the hell do people think they need to play all this damn background racket or noise, it sure drownes out much of what you are saying......

Y'all need to delete this bs
