[QUOTE="OldJoe28, post: 438712, member: 21030"] Not driveway or garage, but, back yard! Today was replace leaky heater core! When I bought my '89, it came with a brand new in the box almn. radiator! The one in the jeep looked, well ratty. Before swapping, I flushed engine and heater core. Well, first test ride after install and all oil swaps..... Surprise! Antifreeze on floor. ( P.O. had replaced fan motor, one wonders why not the original core, whilst it was out)???????? By passed it and ordered new one. Came in 2 days ago. Wasn't a HARD job, more annoying. Had to elongate holes for new core mounting bolts so core pipe not touching anything. Pulling it out was hard, reinstalling it was as hard??!! Push, pull, curse, both ways. I say it took 3 hours to do. The flex hose to defrost vents crumbled, gotta figure out way to make/ repair what's left of it. Another job crossed off the," to do" list! HEI and carb is next!!
