could anyone out there tell me as to how to get the cover off of the heater box once you remove it from the firewall? i removed my dash and got the heater box out of the truck and removed all the vac lines and all the screws, but i cannot get it to come apart without breaking it, i do not know if you are supposed to break the cover to get at it, but it is starting to be a pain i the a$$ any help would be greatly appreciated.

What year is your truck? When I replaced my heater core a year ago on my '99 it came right apart, after I removed the 47 screws holding it together.

thanks for your help guys, i found that retaining nut and removed it, once i did that the whole thing came apart, now the other question i have is, my original heater core is much thinner than the one that i had bought is that going to make a difference or do i need to get another one?

I bought mine at NAPA and it was thicker than the stock one. I had to wedge it in, but it did fit. As long as its the same width and height and it will fit, you won't get any obstruction.
