changing the heater core Reply #15 – October 14, 2006, 03:53:09 PM Quote from: EricCoolCats;108449You got me, Zach. That is pretty strange. According to my parts guy there are well over 100 of those cores in storage at the Ford warehouse in Detroit. So I don't know what to say, other than I can easily get one. What was the part number on yours?Had the same problem getting new HID bulbs for 1996 Mark VIIIs. (it was a one year only bulb, only for LSCs) Since Ford is the only place to get these bulbs, people were starting to go bonkers...but after a few months they made a bunch more and dealers are beginning to stock them.Probably the same story with these heater cores.

Two hoses are probably another $20. 4 nice SS claps will be another $4. They're selling $80 for $50...and LMR isn't known for being kind to the pocketbook.PS I don't think their fan clutches are Motorcraft either. Quote Selected
changing the heater core Reply #18 – October 18, 2006, 10:38:10 PM I figured as much. I was just showing you can get one easy, even though it's a cheap one. Once the Motorcraft ones dry up where will we get a good quality replacement? Quote Selected

changing the heater core Reply #20 – October 18, 2006, 10:47:56 PM So if my Motorcraft replacement one dies in another 9 years I and there are no more new Motorcraft ones I'm going to have to put a $20 parts store core in? Changing the core every two years is going to be fun:pbb: Quote Selected

changing the heater core Reply #24 – October 19, 2006, 09:45:06 AM LOL! No, not ding...but if you have a spare $60 laying around, might not be a bad idea to get one now. I'm seriously thinking about it. We've never really had to worry about any mechanical parts not being made anymore, since a lot of things interchange with Mustangs and other Foxes. But this one...this one kinda concerns me a bit... Quote Selected
