Re: How to replace a 99 Suburban Heater Core

Now, all of a sudden, I had a vapor coming through the A/C vents. I also heard (what I preceived as anyway) a air popping noise - like pressure bubbling or bleeding off in the right front area of the dash. Upon getting home, I see a leak on the interior at the feet of the passenger, with wet carpet.

So - the questions:
1. Is this obviously a heater core replacement - or possibly plugged or a hose?
2. How difficult of a job is this - doe sthe A/C and Airbag have to be addressed?
Is that popping air sound an indicator that maybe I DO have a head gasket leak?

Thanks


sorry for the bad news...this is most likely a heater core.......you will have to remove the whole dash...

this is not an easy repair as i'm sure you will find out when you are told the cost.......
