Replacement heater core
Does anyone have a good supplier recommendation to get a new heater core from? I understand that some of the local parts suppliers, (Avance, Autozone etc.) have sub-par ones that can leak or don't fit exactly. From what I've found out, GM no longer makes them.

Wasn't too long ago that I posted a thread (in Tech) about this subject.
I strongly recommend the cores from Advanced. Price is right and they're good quality copper. Fit is good too.
Copper is better than aluminum for a heater core.
OEM sells alum now. Other "cheapies" are alum.
Find that thread and you'll have more info -- if you need it.
