How many hours does it take to change out a heater core ?
I have a friend that needs one changed in a Durango, 01 I think, she wants me to do it, I'm just trying to find out how much to charge her.
Sorry but I didn't search the site first.

If you haven't done one before,give yourself a solid 8hrs.
I think Chrysler book time is 7hrs.
Danno may be able to pull it up for you.
Took eight hours for the one I did.

I'm late to the thread- but in agreement, took me about 8 hrs also.

Make it easier on yourself and pull the front seats. Taking the front seats out will take 15-20 mins but give you so much extra room to work and make the entire job faster and easier.
Do a search under Corey's posts. He did the one in his truck and he took lots of photos. It should help you out quite a bit.
This thread is 2 years old guys.
I have this job ahead of me, probably not going to do it this year though

My heater core crapped out on me years (10?) ago, only weeks after I replaced my blower motor.
Heater is becoming more important now, with these freak winters we keep having in Dallas. I've regretted driving my truck a few times, due to frozen windshield, wouldn't have taken it out if I really knew how cold it would be.
a few weeks ago I R&R'd the evaporator and recharged the system in under 5 hours on a 98 dakota. first time i ever did it. Had the HVAC box out and on a bench in under 2 hours.
