Yes! Thank you very much for your detailed post . I have had close to 20 vans (so far) and have yet to have an issue with a heater core (knock on wood). I'm really glad you beat me to it as your post will no doubt save me a bunch of time. The other thing is knowing for sure the job is possible......lol. This is one job I have been dreading (fear of the unknown). It's not so scary now........thanks to you. Tim
