'98 Silverado
Does one have to completely dimantle the interior to get to the fan and
motor? It's making a ticking noise that's annoying but not worth 3 days of
labor to fix.
Thanks,
BF

On my 98 Blazer, it took 9.3 hours (flat rate) labor to replace the heater
core. I'm guessing: YES.

You need to pull the right kick panel, the lower right instrument panel
retainer bolt and the glove box/storage compartment.
Then go in and unbolt the blower.

Thanks Steve and Stormin.
Not worth 9 hours yet but Steve's description doesn't sound too horrible.
I think I'll still wait until it totally quits, though.

if its like my 91 its not very hard. I replaced the fan in mine and it
was actually pretty easy. Heater core is a different animal.

Slightly different but most of the process is the same.
The easy way on the cores is to cut the housing on the lines then
glue/screw them back in.
Some of the latest vehicles you may as well trade in if the core fails.....

Thanks Troy, I might get brave when the weather is a bit warmer.
