Yikes! 2006 Tundra Heater Core R&R

[66fyssh]

Could they make it any more difficult to R & R the heater core? :banghead:

Mine was leaking so I tore it down yesterday. Putting it back together today.

Give me back my 66:cheers:

Dakota R&R says "hang dash from pass side entry assist handle with coat hanger....." or something to that effect.

I've thought ever since the first one I had to replace back in the 80's, that it would be so much easier and better if there was just a simple sheet metal panel with six bolts on the engine side of the firewall.....

Yes it is! Worth the cash savings doing it myself., though. More funds for the 66.

Just did a 2000 Ford ranger for a friend and you can't even leave the column in for that truck... Looks like a similar job on the Tundra.

And there were the old Stewart Warner "South Wind" heaters which were gasoline fired
