well since you don't have a driver side airbag it makes things somewhat easier. however its a tedious job since the entire dash needs to come out. but once you get to the core its matter of four bolts of thing and disconnected the two hoses and then installing the next one. then you have to put the entire dash back together. so basically the hard part is taking apart the dash and then putting it back together.

don't forget to drain all the coolant before you do the job.

Sounds like one heck of a job.I thought you might just have to remove the glove box and some duct work.Sounds like more then I can do. Danny

$3.00 bottle of silver seal stop leak solve the problem.(for now) This only worked for 1 week. Not to good ideal I guess.

I was trying to reflect on the fact that you've been posting scenarios, questions, then possible answers to your own questions, then arguing with yourself in previous posts, then editing the original post to confuse us further, then posting solutions to your scenario, then complementing yourself on the solution.....

That's where my comment came from... No Harm, just humorous, and a bit hard to follow

It's always a pleasure to have so many posters here.. I remember a time when we were a very few...
