Poor Heat in Both Front & Rear Units
Comparing removal of a F150 dash to an Expedition Dash and telling people that it can be removed in 15 mins is bull. The Heatercore might be the same but the dash is more involved.- Shinobi'sZ

Poor Heat in Both Front & Rear Units
My front heater blows hot enough now that I have to lower the temp on the head unit to 72* without sweating. I don't see any leaks on the floorboard or under the vehicle in the rear where the rear Heatercore would leak from. I also have not seen a change in the coolant level. The rear Heatercore...- Shinobi'sZ

The Prestone flush is an acid like CLR, both which are contained in plastic. More than likely the people who have had issues are having leaks from the actual core itself after the rust was removed. Im doubtful it would eat the thick rubber hose enough or melt it. I spilt some on the outside of...- Shinobi'sZ

It's not harmful to the hoses at all. It only attacks rust, calcium, and lime chemically as an acid. Here is something I should have mentioned. If a heatercore is rusted to the point that it is blocked, it is on its way out in the first place. I'm not sure if these heatercores are steel or...- Shinobi'sZ

Ok got a good update. There have been a few posts after mine with claims that the test might not work, but so far they have exactly as outlined. This morning while driving to work I shut the front heat off because it was blowing cold air and I was just using the warm air from the rear to keep...- Shinobi'sZ

Poor Heat in Both Front & Rear Units
Ok well I've been busy with work, but I managed to cut the heater hose coming off the water pump with the restrictor. The restrictor is about 3/8" diameter in a 5/8-3/4" hose so it is significant. The inside of the hose appeared to be a little rusty but was clear otherwise. I went ahead and...- Shinobi'sZ

I have an 02' Eddie Baurer with the same issues as described in the thread title. I paid $400 for a reputable shop to diagnose. They replaced a thermostat, didn't do anything. They observed the blend door actuators moving, also when the temp is changed on the head unit, the air will go from...- Shinobi'sZ
