Heater Core

I would like to know what the difficulty level is, and what is involved in removing/cleaning/inspecting my heater core? I searched the forums and didnt seem to be able to find the info I was looking for, just wondering if anyone has done it themselves before.

Re: Suspension Lift

I should put spacers in the front to bring the front up.. I added some weight with my bumper and winch set up.. has anyone figured out what a good taller tire size there is to run after lifting them?
