Hi all, as the title says i own a 97 ram 1500 with the 5.9L 360 with 102,000 miles, I believe I have a heater core issue because earlier this week i began to notice a smell of anti-freeze coming through the vents and the other day i noticed steam coming through the vents once the engine got warm on a slightly cool morning, before I rip apart my entire dash I decided to get advice on what i should look for and any precautions i need to take before i start or if even I am on the right track to fixing this problem. If I am on the right track can anyone assist in what all I have to do to replace it? and what special tools i might need? thanks in advance. Oh and also someone has told me that if I plan to replace the heater core I should also replace the a/c evaporator core, is this true?
