undo the hoses & the 3 bolts around the heater motor , there should also be a J hook inside the cold air vent at the right sde of the box

Check with your local auto parts supplier........auto zone/advance/pep boys....whichever. Advance has one listed for 58.88 bucks (part no. 399112) on their site.

Andy. How big of a job was changing the heater core? I have my dash and heater box all apart and was wondering if I should be change it even though it looks fine.

You got it apart so it should be simple now, if you can spare the $$ i'd do it.  Good piece of mind anyways.

damn you guys went a long way back for this one! if you have the heater box and stuff apart,id think you were crazy not to change the core at the same time-its a pain in the ass,why take it apart twice!

[RogerDodger]

Guys, your right. I figured it was probably a pain in the a**. Just everytime I think about the Charger it costs me another $50. I wouldn't be very happy if I were changing it next year at this time.
