Have the cooling system pressure tested. If it holds pressure, that's a good thing. If it doesn't hold pressure, you may have a leaking head gasket. What may be happening is the crack in the head gasket could be blowing hot air into the cooling system causing it to overheat.

SOURCE: how to remove heater core

Is a typical case, but we can use like a general method:
First remove all the water from your system by draining the radiator, it's best to do it this way so you can add new coolant and keep the mess to a minimum, after your water is drained, go ahead and remove the heater core feed lines.

  1. Remove top of dash pad, do this by removing several screws located under the foward lip of the pad, don't forget the screws in the defroster vent holes!
  2. Remove the lower trim panel from the underside passenger side dash ( if there is one there)
  3. Look under the dash on the passenger side and you will see the plastic box in which houses the heater core, remove all the screws that surround this box, there will be one screw on the top that will be very difficult to get at, this is why you have removed the top of the dash so you can get at it with two hands,if you need to see this screw get outside of the car and look down at the dash from the passenger side and then your going to have to depend on feeling with your hands.
  4. At this point you should have the plastic box off and now your looking directly at the heater core, the core is held in place by a steel clamp fastened with screws, remove these screws, and remove the clamp.
  5. Now it's time to remove the heater core , get some plastic sheeting and lay it around the passenger foot well because there going to be some water in the core yet, pull it out gently, you might have to wiggle and gently pull, take your time, it should come out fairly easy.
  6. Once you have the old core out, it's time to install the new one, I can't tell you how important it is at this point to be very patient when installing the new core, you may have to slightly bend the new core tubes to get them through the firewall, you may end up taking it out a couple of times BE CAREFULL!!!!!!
  7. Once you have sucessfully got the core in place, install the core clamp, then re-assemble

Make sure that after you have installed everything and you fill your system with water, slide your heat temp control to full heat the check everything for leaks!


For the specific case, Grand Cherokee, check this info, maybe the answer are in there: ZJ Secc 24 Heating and Air Conditioning (Page 41 and Next)

Good luck!!!

SOURCE: HEATER CORE REPLACEMENT!

I have a 1993 Jeep Wrangler YJ...My heater core needed replacement when I bought it about a year ago. I made the mistake of taking apart the dash to get to the heater core. DO NOT DO THIS!!! It is actually 4 screws that you must take out from the inside of the engine compartment on the firewall. Then it will come right out. Have fun!!!

When I drive my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee I can hear water. I was told to blow out the lines of the heater core with a compressor. Where is the heater core located?

1995 jeep wrangler yj low heat after changing heater core -would reversed heater hoses cause this also- thank u -so much

Not really, the heater core would still get hot enough to produce enough heat and usually the hoses will fall to the right spot making it hard to put them on the wrong ends. Why was the heater core changed? was it clogged? Did you flush the engine out to prevent the new core from clogging up? Have you looked into it being a stuck open thermostat?

2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited heater core replaced 3 times

if they have replaced it 3 times and still can't get the leak stopped
A. It not the heater core something else is leaking

B. there using a used heater core (which is my opinion is plain . . stupid)
C. the mechanic has no idea what he doing
First thing they should have done when car was brought in the 1st time was check for other leaks if it is the heater core still leaking the mechanic is installing it wrong or not geting hoses tight. the actual changing of the heater core takes only about 10 minutes and actually a easy process that anyone could do. What takes the most time is getting to the heater core because the majorly of the time the whole dash has to come out which takes hours

I would take your car somewhere else and have it fixed right and have them bill the dealership for the repairs

If I start my jeep early in the morning or late at night water comes out of the heater. What can i do to fix this

If it it a small amount of water and not coolant it may just be condensation from sitting during temperature changes. If it is coolant the heater core will need replaced. Please rate this answer, thanks.

I need to change the Heater core, Please help me. Thank You

Replacing the heatercore on a wrangler is not easy. The dash has to be pulled foward,cables have to be disconnected,heater hoses disconnected,heater housing dropped and disassembled. I suggest for you to buy a repair manual and it will guide through all the steps to perform this task.
