Okay, so it only took 3 hours to remove the heater core... but it took 7 to put it back together! All is good with new core, thermostat, housing and Prestone antifreeze! This thing will roast you right out of the cab now!

New core at top. Old core at bottom

My advice: ONLY buy the Motorcraft unit. The TYC was junk and with all the time and effort that it takes to get to it, use ONLY quality parts. The Motorcraft unit was only $20 more than the TYC.

Relocated EATC aspirator connection

I tested the EATC aspirator and it now functions as it is supposed to. I think that now, the EATC will maintain the proper temperature set point!
