2005 Toyota Tundra Heater Core Removal

Called TOS Toyotas Only Service in Sacramento about cost to replace heater core in 2000 Tacoma.

2005 toyota tundra heater core removal. What else do I look for to fix this. I saw a video on the heater core removal in a Tundra and it looks like a massive project I would need to have someone else do. Heater Core - REMOVAL INSTALLATION see Figure 1 Drain the cooling system.

Top off the coolant and continue. It is built right into it. If anything got broken on the way out please make sure to replace it on the way in.

Water Valve also seems in good working order. I told him the condensate line continually drips and that Ive suspected it for a long time. Drain engine coolant.

Inspect the core fins for any blockage. Move any air ducts or other components away from the heater core housing. You may want to try a couple of things to be sure its the core.

DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT afor 1GR-FE. Pull upwards to remove the core from the unit. Remove the heater core housing and set it on a table.

Also I got a Spectra brand heater core from Rock Auto the OEM heater core at the dealer was too much money and weirdly it is made out of copper just strange because the radiator is aluminum and when the two are present in a system galvanic corrosion can occur. The Spectra brand one was aluminum though and it was a direct fit for 50ish dollars. Have alot of towels handy for the leakage of coolant that may spill into your interior.
