You have a 12-year old car, anything can happen.

Replacing the heater core is a PITA, requiring removal of the instrument panel. There are a number of write-ups out there, here's one that's for the '94-'98 however the new-edge is the same.

Here is the panel R&R from the shop manual, this is the evaporator/heater core R&R...

If you need to you can get a 5/8-3/4" ****** fitting and hook the two lines together until you can get the heater core replaced.

replacing the heater core is a huge PITA like cliffy stated. Im currently in the process of removing my heater core.

Maybe it's like the devil or something? Who TF knows, this politically correct nonsense makes me want to t*o*s*s m*y c*o*o*k*i*e*s.

What TF happened to "I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to my death you're right to say it."?

Or use a foreign language character: barbėd...

You would be surprised what will get through using à ė ì ö ü and others...
