    lol, there are other options, if you are handy- there is a kit for the older trucks, forget who makes it but LMC and the others sell it, but, you have to swap out your switch to a standard 2 speed switch.

    Heater core replacement. Are they all the same from all vendors? Where to buy?

    Yes, but there are other factors involved. Copper rads and heater cores have more mass, retaining more heat. Aluminum rads and heater cores have better air flow, and better coolant flow.

    Filling small holes without welding

However, you can use almost anything,lead, bondo, epoxy, etc if you do 1 of 2 things, with long lasting results--dimple in the outer...

    Heater core replacement. Are they all the same from all vendors? Where to buy?

Anyway, what I have seen last 5 months, the top "aftermarket stores in our area all have troubles. Local...

    Heater core replacement. Are they all the same from all vendors? Where to buy?

    Depends on how much you want to spend,lol! But, here is some info- Copper/brass tends to clog and plug faster, if you run crappy coolant Aluminum tends to rot/leak faster if you run crappy coolant Aluminum WILL give you more heat, much better performance. Top of the line?? Can get both, I would...
