Re: 2004 Ranger, heater blowing antifreeze

There are no related posts I can find for a Ranger that new. Can someone provide a rough estimate of how difficult it would be to do it yourself? How long would it take? I'd buy the repair manual and do it myself without even thinking about it, but I'm not him. Thanks.
Definitely sounds like the heater core has developed a leak or its connections to it. I'm not familiar with this model, but a subscription for OEM material can be located at www.alldatadiy.com For $26.95 for a year of OEM material beats a hardcopy at $135.00. Hope you get it fixed!
