2 H O T fixed

ANYONE know y there is so much heat coming from the center console of my 88 iroc Z it has 25,000 miles n i think the 1st owner may have put a heater core in it. i know he f'd up the radio speakers thanks for the help I got it,,, found the rubber came out of the hole that the shifter cables run through
u would not believe the hot air that comes through there

Re: 2 H O T

That's where the heater core is, and where the floor hot air delivery is...

Might be the mix door doesn't seal good, might be that the PO cut a hole in that duct for the radio and it now leaks.

What did you see when you looked back there?
