How to Properly Install a Heater Core on 2008 Dodge Dakota?

The rubber flange should first go over the heater core tubes so that everything fits properly. The foam seal and the rubber flange should fit perfectly within the HVAC housing. After that, fit the heater core (1) into the lower region of the HVAC housing (2). A good rule is to flush the cooling system before starting if you intend to replace the heater core. Now, construct and place onto the housing frame the HVAC components. It must be understood that adjusting or detaching heater core tubes can cause leaking coolant, a risk to yourself or others or even death.
