[QUOTE="shurur, post: 16690392, member: 113850"] I suspect this is true for heater cores, as it is true for evaporator cores: make sure you get one that has the AL hoses that are attached not just at the core but to each other or other point on the core. This gives them greater strength and relieved stress on the tube welds. No copper..no brass...Get AL only. Good luck. Get help when you are ready to remove and install the dash. Remove the inner A pillar panels. It is easy to pinch wires when doing the dash install alone...and it is cumbersome to deal with alone. Take note of how it angles out for when you reinstall the dash. Consider replacing the rubber vac hose that comes through the firewall with silicone line. You can seal the airbox with permatex and then use strips of dynamat as tape...in case you or yours need to go in again someday. [/QUOTE]
