How to Safely Install a Heater Core into the HVAC Housing on 2008 Dodge Ram 1500?

Fit the heater core into the front of the HVAC housing and place the heater core tube bracket onto the housing above it. Install the heater core bracket to the HVAC housing by adding two screws and tightening each one to 1.1 Nm (10 in. lbs.). If the vehicle includes a dual zone heating-A/C system, add the linkage rod (4) and place the foam seal over the heater core tubes. It's important to flush the cooling system if you replace the heater core. The last step is to put the HVAC housing in place.
