an afternoon, if you know what yer doing.

I looked into doing mine 93 5.0 got some books on the car, and found out
you have to take the dash off, remove the black plastic case, cut it open
and heat glue it back together, so I took it to the dealership. The case
looked like a real bitch to take apart and put back together.

You can bypass the heater core at the firewall and check again, but it would
take a while to clear out what is left in the heater core.
Or check for green fuild inside or outside below the heatercore.
You dont want to breath in much of that stuff, 1/2 hour tops.
(everybody has to replace heater core!)
