    Awesome! My heater core just failed. I just pulled my dash on my 2002 and replaced all the parts listed for well under $200. I took my time and followed your video. I had to maneuver around my remote start wiring, but no problem. Now tomorrow is re-assembly. Thank you so much for your detailed and thorough video. Cindi

    glad it helped you out, its ridiculous how much shops charge for something like this. remember to hit the like button, and maybe subscribe. I've ran into a few other issues on my jeep and will continue to make videos whenever a problem arises. thanks!

    Oh my goodness. I sincerely thought that I would be up for the challenge, but having to remove the steering column just so I can have heat on my side is ridiculous. I will say that this video was not only informative, but I'm impressed with watching this take place one handed! Thanks for the video.

    I know this is an old video, but it helped me IMMENSELY! My son and I watched the video multiple times before we tackled the job. By the time we went to do it, we had it memorized. Took under 90 mins to get the dash out thanks to this vid. It's not a fun job, but all it is, is allot of screws and wire clips. Don't be too afraid. We did the blend door upgrade and evap as well, took 5 hours to replace everything and be driving again. Thanks again!

    This is a great step by step video for any WJ Jeep owner looking to replace their Heater Core / AC Evaporator . Had come across this video last night. Within 2 hours of watching the video I was able to get my HVAC assembly out of my 99 Grand Cherokee Laredo with no problems. Video quality can be a little better. However the thorough instruction and clear steps make this video a great watch. Going to swap out the heater core today and re assemble everything together gain.. Take notes and make sure you arrange your screws in the order they had com out. Using ziplocks bags helps to organize.

    I have a 99 Jeep GC Limited. My heater core was leaking and the blend doors were broken. I saw your video and it convinced me I could do the job. It took me a full weekend but I got it done and I couldn't be happier with the results. It's definitely a time consuming job, but like you said, be patient, don't get frustrated, and keep track of what your removing and it'll work out fine. Thanks for your great video.

    Omg I can't tell you thank you enough for this video. We have a 99 with the EXACT problem and thought we were being taken to the cleaners when we were quoted what we were when we took it in to get fixed. We declined at that time but now I see what a painstaking process this is just to replace a couple pieces. Thanks I was also impressed with your knowledge of what you were doing and thanks for showing what was broken.

    This is a great tool to DIY... Took me about 11 hrs with the help of my wife... From start to finish... And saved a ton of money... Go ahead and replace the a/c evap core while your in there. All my blend doors worked great so didn't have to replace... Hot now blows really hot..... Thanks for the great tutorial.

    This is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make the video. I would still be trying to figure out how to just get started, but as it is, I just replaced the heater and evaporate cores and it's all going back together. Thank you again.

    Very helpful video. Replaced my Heater and Evaporator cores. Two big hints to start: Push seats all the way back before disconnecting battery. Also, remember to transfer the two studs from the old evaporator to the new one if needed. Also, get spare reinforced o-rings for the refrigerant line connections just in case. I also replaced the deteriorating foam on the blend doors using 1/8" adhesive backed foam sheets I found at Micheals. Have some 1/4 or 1/ thick 1/2" wide weather stripping for some of the mating areas for ducting. Thanks to the several people who have created these videos.

    We did it! My friend asked me to help him change out his heater core in one of these finely engineered Jeeps - what a job! Had we watched the whole video before we started, I am not sure we would have attempted it. But due to the accuracy and simplicity of the video, we made it. Follow it step by step, and you can do it, too. Great suggestion to color coat the screws and their locations. Make sure you have plenty of light and set aside a full day for the job. If you have the factory hose clamps on the heater core connections, break-off the eyelets before re-clamping. We disconnected the rainbow-colored vaccum hoses that control the dampers when we pulled the dash away, no problem. Make sure you do the ignition disconnect and reconnect with the key on. Good luck! You can do it. Thanks to the EXCELLENT instructional video this young man created. We really appreciate your help.

    Thank you for a very thorough and detailed description of a job, step by step that would have taken me a month of Sundays to complete. The Jeep Dealership gave me a price of $1300.00 to repair my HVAC unit in my 2000 Grand Cherokee Limited. Good Job I will give you a 5-star rating. Let the work begin.

    Definitely wasn't this guys first time. Probably one of the best detailed, to the point videos I've ever watched, and I watch a lot, as a diy shade tree mechanic that only goes to shop for inspections and sometimes tires.
