Download HeaterCore Database NOW!
 

The Access 2000 .mdb file is located at a temporary FTP. The address is ftp://12.18.239.202/heatercore.mdb

This is really easy to use ... I wrote it to be so simple and engineering student can use it (it is pretty unf*ckable, considering how much time was spent on it), as long as you STAY OUT OF THE MENUS UP TOP EXCEPT TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DBASE!!!

When you open it, you will get a window that prompts you for L/W/D measurements, the Input Hose size, and +/- figures for the L/W/Ds. This is all in inches. If you leave a blank at "0", it is considered a wildcard (input hose must have a value or you will get NOTHING). If all blanks are "0", you will get nothing, because that is stupid. If you enter measurements and there are no returns in the next dialog, then there are no heatercores that are near those measurements. Change your values or increase the scope in the +/- field. I didn't include pictures because I am to F*CKING LAZY, so please don't ask. Go to www.heatercore4u.com , andd a slash, and type in the model # +.htm to get the page for that particular model. There's your picture.

Once you have a list of heater cores, if you want to zoom in on one and get the vehicles that it fits on, click on the record selector on the left side of the window, and push the button up top. It'll pop up another dialog that lists the vehicles that sucker fits on so you can go down to NAPA and get yourself one.

If you have any suggestions, PM me and I'll tweak it a bit (do NOT ask me to add pictures because I am too F*CKING LAZY ... go to the web site yourself ... bwahahahaha!). I spent probably 8 hours on it, so any gifts of beer and stuff you guys want to send would be appreciated.

Oh, and if somebody wants to host this here on procooling (HEY PRO/MODS!!!), please do before my company notices their virtual pants are down.

wow man, what a cool idea. I'm sure plenty of people out there will be very interested in it

I'm going to have to take this offline at around 4:30 PM Pacific Time. I'll try to have this back up again sometime tonight at a different location. Get it while the gettin's good.

Okay, the FTP address above is now offline. The new location is http://users.adelphia.net/~jnsholcomb/HeaterCore.mdb

I'm going to leave it here over the weekend. Due to bandwidth restrictions, I can't keep it up too long (Adelphia is a B!tch when it comes to free hosting), so as I said before, get it before I have to pull it.

Again, if Procooling wants to host it, I'd be very appreciative. I'm going to also look elsewhere to see if somebody/anybody wants to either dload it or host it.

For those that didn't see it yet (weekday crowd): here you be. It is still at the adelphia addy.

Got it, but I'll have to install MSAccess 2000 to see it! Maybe you could slap the data in a separate Excel file?

Just the raw data? Um ... let me see what I can do. It won't let you search (vehicle and core stats are in different tables), but I'll export. You really want to use this in Access, though, since the search function is what is beneficial. I'll be back in a sec.

Okay, there are going to be two tables that will be available at the FTP site listed above in the first post titled dimensions.xls (measurements) and cores.xls (vehicles). You can crossreference using the core code (ex: 2-465). Ignore the a### numbers ... they are for reference for the macro I used ... they are of no importance to you guys. Again, they really won't be all that whiz bang without the search utilities I built. It would be worth installing Access.

Dang it! They blocked all FTP here at the office. I'll have to wait till I get home!

Let me pump it HTTP for you. They will be at http://users.adelphia.net/~jnsholcomb/dimensions.xls or cores.xls. Give it a minute to upload and then go for sh!t.

Nice work, thanks buddy!

What do you think of the data, Ben?

Well, I'm sorry to dissapoint you...

The "Dimensions" are good. Did you OCR that? My DB includes special notes, like "two intakes", or "mounting flange".

The "Cores" doesn't specify everything that the site does. There are different model cores, wether the car has A/C or not. The website has more info, like wether the core is a front unit, or a rear one, on a few models.

I can add my comments for the first set of data. I barely started the second, so I can't help you there. Maybe Unloaded is still in?

With the year, make, and model, you can derive the rest at a parts counter with the core dimensions. I've done that job before. The rest of the data would be a biznatch to enter, and is unnecessary, unless you parts store doesn't have parts lookup software.

Good point.

As long as the user remembers to look at a picture of the core, then it's all good.

Actually, I had put this project on hold for a while, because I was thinking about using another source. Heatercore4u isn't kept up to date all that much.

Excellent Job!
 

Thank you to all the people that participated in this project. I have downloaded your data and found it extremely useful. I added another column to my file where I determined surface area and made that my primary sort.

Great work!

Cheers!

nice job air!! btw, does anybody know what the other numbers on the heatercore4u pics refer to?

I would guess they are the catalog part numbers, instead of the radiator code from that vendor. For instance 2-465 is too small to be a unique part number. 36549871 isn't. Possibly there are multiple part numbers for the same part if they go to different lines of vehicles. For some reason many distributors do this so they can charge more for the same part if it goes in an Escalade as opposed to a half ton Silverado. The parts business is pretty crooked, overall.

Once again, I shut down the FTP site. The access file is available at the HTTP I listed and presumable at the other site clone listed. The XLS files are only available at the HTTP site I listed, as far as I know.

No word of hosting this stuff here at Pro/Cooling? *sob* And with Joe looking for content ....

Any takers? Don't tell me that only a few people want this ... with all the people that ask about them i'd think more people would want it.

I can put the files on my ftp space no problem. Send em all to me via e-mail and I'll up them right now.

Thanks for the XLS file its working well since I'm to f*cking lazy to install access at the moment. All I do is hunt for ones that will fit my box then type the "2-### heater core" into google and hit "im feeling lucky", it takes me right to the heatercore4you page.

I'll see what i can do about the beer!

Hey just wanted to mention that the 2-### numbers are actually FEDCO part numbers. If there is an Advance Auto Parts in your area they carry the FEDCO cores. If they don't have them in stock they can usually get them within 2 days and usually the next day. Also for a kinda price gauge I got this one for $30 there today:
http://www.heatercore4u.com/2-639.htm
Another thing, most other auto parts stores can cross reference those FEDCO numbers for you.

peace.
