its more common that the pass side shows it but yeah im with scotty FIX IT NOW or have low fluid forever

you can by pass the heater core by looping one hose on the alt bracket. no heat but also no more leak.

heater core is a real treat in these cars. (insert sarcasm font here) lol

I'll burn my car before I would ever do the heater core again

take both hoses off the fire wall. the one with a fatter end remove from the alt bracket, then take the other hose end and clamp it on the alt bracket, aka a loop is made literally.

Guess what guys the top hose connecting to the firewall wasn't clamped on tight enough and that was probably causing my coolant to leak

only time will tell. the hoses can also get all worn out and no longer fit tight no matter how tight you clamp them. then can leak.

one of mine did, it did fog the windshield but did not leak inside.

[Jason97GrandprixGT]

I tightened up the hose connecting to the firewall but it's still leaking coolant so should I just loop the hoses?

yup, bypass time, then buy a new heater core and have fun swapping it out.

If you do the heater core yourself, take the front seats out. I think there are 4 bolts to remove and it gives you much more room to work with.

I'd rather do the heater core on my GP again then do ANY Ford heater core. At least with the GP I don't have to yank the entire dash off the firewall... IIRC I pulled the center console and pass. side seat out to get to the core in my GT.

Here is a thread that may help--> http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...re+replacement

My neighbor wanted me to replace the heater core on his Taurus when he saw me replacing the one on my GP. I looked up how to do it and couldn't tell him no fast enough lol.

Ah yes. I remember pulling the dash (twice) in my Mustang to do my heater core. The first time took a few hours. I had to do it again when the 1st replacement failed. The 2nd time was knocked out in under an hour.
