2nd Gen S10 Evaporator Replacement

I show you what all is involved with changing out the evaporator core in your 2nd generation S10. It's kind of a pain, but I walk you through it here.

Great job on the video. Very well recorded. I'm sure it will help a lot of people to do this job themselves. A MUST HAVE TOOL for the top left bolt is a 20" bendable socket driver.

Thank you for your wonderful straightforward narrative and delivery. That is a rare ability in itself, not to mention while in the middle of a very problematic repair! Looking forward to laying up my own 97 S10 2.2L and doing this. Mine is not nearly so clean as yours! The S10 is such a great hobby truck.

You do a great job on these videos. I'm getting things together for my own swap in a 2002 xtreme blazer. Most helpful I'm going to do my evaporator coil before the engine. Like you its certainly time.

I've got a Blazer with the same evap. core and location. Mine has always been in the garage so I don't expect to have any leaves in it. But in your case, that probably was reducing the cooling to some extent As long as mine will blow out with a/c flush and compressed air, i won't replace it. But if that doesn't go well, I'll be into the same job. Nice to have a looksee into what that entails. Thanks for the post.

Great video Im about to work on this project myself so this helps a lot. BTW the 5.5 mm sockt is a SAE 7/32

nice vid man, in the process of doing this myself

[simonmunizsr]

Great video and it was explained well, it helped me a lot, thanks.

Cool! Mines a ‘98 and the only part I haven’t replaced is the evaporator. at least I know it can be replaced under the hood. 👍

Using my manifold set- I'm recharging through the low Port ONLY- the low Port coupling is obviously open. My question is-your highport coupling is open so this way you can READ the pressure on the manifold gauge... The High valve on the manifold gauge NEEDS to be closed...BUT the coupling on the high side is OPEN for reading on the manifold gauge?

Is that last part correct??

[RJ-qxzg]

I'm surprised you didn't have to do the holley side cover. What motor mounts did you use?

[davidaktun]

It is amazing the GM ability to make AC evaporator service almost imposible.

[connorandersen]

Good shit brother I felt like today Fuck it ima do it and yo got the part out and putting new one in new weatherstripping hood Fucken vid Appreciate it

[jackdavis]

Looks like on the bottom line has a crack in it, if that is so did it leak before taking it out??

[anthonyguilianoii]

About how many hours did it take to do this? Thinking about changing mine out.

[kenhilson]

Did I miss something.? You yanked evaporator out because you couldn't totally separate the pieces. Then you have the box on the floor applying weather strip.

[regulatormachine]

would it have helped to remove the heater fan?

[poedaniel]

you say you don't want problems, but they don't make parts now like they used to
