- 1997 XLT AWD 5.0
Okay... Long time lurker, recently started posting....
Got the notorious leaking heater core in a 97 AWD XLT. Been looking at all of the articles on pulling the steering column, dash, evaporator, etc. Doesn't look like much fun. Dumb question though. There is an article on replacing the blend door through the glove box opening and in the photos, you can clearly see the heater core. Would it be possible to replace the core through this method, or are there screws on the back side of the core which need to come out? I have no problems cutting away at the box and taking care of the whole mess from the front, but am dreading having to dismantle half of the truck to do all of this if there is an easier way to accomplish it. Any info would be great.
