Not yet that I'm aware. I installed it in 2018 or early 2019. It seemed pretty solid and the swivel joints were very tight.

I am going to have to go with that as everybody I have found sells them. Part of me says reuse my old one but flush. Another part of me says to eleven or because the PO used stop leak and I only have heat when moving

Thanks for posting this info. I did some quick searches and found one dealer in New Mexico that showed it in stock on their web site for $138.00, so I called them to verify and they confirmed that it was not in stock there or anywhere else in the country (discontinued part). Perhaps this is something that LMC truck could bring back and start selling?

Yes, I they (https://thebrassworks.net/) popped up during some of my earlier searches. Looks like they build to order, so delivery looks to be several months out.

I have had brass/copper radiators rebuilt... Wonder if it would be possible to do the same with a heater core.
