Any suggestions on Heater Core? You guys see any problems in using aftermarket ones. They're about half the cost. The dealership quoted me $1100 to do it the repairs, parts and labor, that is crazy. They want $160 for the OEM one. I've seen the DIY's on doing this and I believe I can tackle it without screwing anything up.

 

Do it yourself.

If you can, get a brass heater core. (if they are even available....) if you are really paranoid, pressure test it before installation.

 

Brass heater cores are available from Rock Auto (http://www.rockauto.com)

 

Thanks guys, it's going to be really nice weather tomorrow, so I should be able to get it done. DIY'S said it takes about two hours or longer. So I usually double the time, because I'm still learning how to do this kind of repairs.

 

Two hours??? I only WISH I could do a heater core in two hours. Plan on six to eight, just to be safe. Let us know how it goes, and how long it actually takes you.

 

No kidding. Two hours was just for the cussing.

 

Oh, right. Of course.
