Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle has code DCC before ordering. Heater core replacement typically requires access to the HVAC case, so compare the original unit and hose connections before installation. Flush the cooling system if contamination or debris is present, and inspect related hoses, clamps, and seals during service.
