Some Ford E-350 Super Duty owners report experiencing heating problems due to a plugged heater core, which can result from antifreeze breakdown and various mechanical issues. This breakdown can lead to corrosion and deterioration of the heater core and radiator, causing coolant leaks that ultimately affect the vehicle's heating system. Additionally, owners may encounter complex mechanical issues related to electrical components or coolant flow, making it essential to diagnose the specific problems accurately. Symptoms of a plugged heater core should be reported to a technician for proper diagnosis, as they will help identify the root cause of the heating issues. Repairing a plugged heater core may involve flushing the cooling system to remove blockages and addressing any underlying mechanical problems. The cost of replacing a heater core due to these issues can range from $200 to $300, highlighting the importance of timely maintenance and repairs to prevent future complications.
