its a heater core
it is like a radiator in the dash of the car
im guessing about 5-8 hours of labor
some radiator shops will replace them cheaper then the dealership
Fords suck...........
thats why Ford stock is $9.00 a share
Toyota is $100.00 a share
for reals check out international automotive tech network IATN this may help
