After a long, hot drive across the deserts of Utah, I have caved and decided to replace my evaporator core. I have searched in vain for adequate instructions on how to remove the dashboard. Is there a detailed how-to out there for a 98 cherokee so I don't accidentally ruin something? I feel like I'm going into this pretty blindly.

Ol Blue,
Could you send me the instruction process you have for replacing an evaporator coil. I have a 200 Jeep Cherokee yj with the 4.0 liter. That would be awesome if you can. Thanks!

ol blu i just joined this site a few minutes ago. i noticed you are up to date on this heater core issue and have been on this site awhile now and it sounds as if you know a bit. my G/F owns a 2002 jeep GC v-8 engine with the manual controls for the heating cooling unit. the heater core has been gradually going downhill for a few months and finally went out a few days ago. the shop wanted around a thousand to replace it and we cant afford that at the moment so i decided to do it myself and so far i have the entire dash out which wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. my thing now is how to get the heater core it-self out. i thiink i have a idea but not completely sure. any info you have to offer will be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance.

Ol' Blue,
I too would greatly appreciate the info on replacing the evaporator coil on my 2001 XJ.
Would you recommend replacing the heater coil as well while I'm in there? It's working ok but I figure with 160k and 12 years its worth it.
Any suggestions on parts and what to stay away from?
Love the site!

I usually use Chrysler/Jeep parts because you know they'll fit and have a good warranty. Some say the large chains have good quality parts as well.

Hey All. Just picked up a 2000 Grand Cherokee Laredo with 110K as a first car for my 16 year old daughter. I figured it's a great car to run over a few things and not really damage much.. Hopefully.
Ol' Blue, can you shoot me the same? Much appreciated. I've been lurking for some time and picking up a few tips here and there. Great forum!
