Steve I like your advice and logic! I would just back flush with a garden hose cause the trucks systems are rated for no more than maybe 15 pounds of pressure? Most now are no longer copper cause aluminum is cheaper and actually works better. Stay away from acids! Also can have a busted heater valve in the lines from the engine. That was the trouble on a Ford Explorer. Valve is cheap and then you find the little vacuum controller hose is screwed up too. I have YET to have anything with a cabin filter but I have had so much crap on the core you needed to blow air backwards with a shop vac. or a huge air compressor on the inside with the vac. sucking on the imput side where the blower motor is. Take it out it will be easier. Quite a bit came out and then the heat worked. Dodge product. One other way if you can get into things is use the garden hose INSIDE the vehicle and back flush it and the shop vac will clean everything up. Messy but if you can get at it. My neighbor used to be an auto mechanic and had do do a couple of radiator cores for "friends". Good golly almighty headache you need to pull the dash, then the heater is part of the dash, then you take an angle grinder and cut into the rear of the heater box, THEN you can install a new core with a patch panel. I can remember changing the core on my 1964 Galaxie from the engine compartment in about and hour! Have fun!
