TheGeek April 16, 2006 Share TheGeek Member April 16, 2006 (edited) I just replaced my heater core. It took 8 hours, 3 days, neglected homework, and 74 dollars. I have tons of cuts on my hands from sharp pieces underneath my car, and when I took off the radiator hose the coolent flushed out all of my brand new cuts. How nice of my car..... Im not proud to admit, but I know a lot more curse words then I thought I did. Edited April 16, 2006 by {GpL}TheGeek998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthos April 17, 2006 Share monthos Member April 17, 2006 i know how that feels, a week or so ago i had to replace my brothers water pump and thermostat in his nissan. They do NOT make them easy to get to. Coolant on alot of cuts myself too. And here here to the 8.15 in the bank, ill have 3 or 4 tomarrow after car insurance does its monthly deduction. Makes me wonder how im ever going to get my dirtbike engine back together and running. I bought the piston last june, and im finally now starting to work on it. I need a new camchain i realised today, and its $49 Fear my 1990 Suzuki DR350.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGeek April 17, 2006 Author Share TheGeek Member April 17, 2006 (edited) what's all of the stuff on the lfoor od the driver's side??? i forgot to take the car jack out of the pic. and the other 2 things are the braces, so the car doesnt come crashing down on me when the jack gives out. Which usually happens because i was doing it all on my gravel driveway. wut car is it? its a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am GT with the 3.3 V6 with that engine there is NO room to get your hand in there. so i had to pry my hand this way and that, thus, the cuts. here is a pic Edited April 17, 2006 by {GpL}TheGeek998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDuke April 17, 2006 Share MrDuke Member April 17, 2006 I had a 93 GA. There's a removable plate on the firewall for easy access to the heater core. That should've been a 30 minute change. Sorry that you went in from the wrong side... jk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReverend(c) April 18, 2006 Share TheReverend(c) Member April 18, 2006 I had a 94 grand am. Unfortunately there were several years, including the ones you and I had, that had leaky cores. There was a recall on them. You may have done work for nothing. Also the new one you put in is also prone to leaking just like mine did (yes I went thru that madness twice). Its actually easier if you take most of the dashboard apart and off. It takes longer but itll save your fingers next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
