By me anyway. I ran it over to my favorite AC/Radiator shop. They called me to say there were multiple problems that should be addressed. I inquired new or rebuild of him. He said I wouldn't find this quality today. Definitely rebuild. Quote: $254.00. I know they'll do a great job. I'm taking my heater core over when I pick up my radiator. It's been sitting on a shelf for two years since I stuck the aluminum Napa one in. Not a good core. But I seem to remember reading that these aluminum cores are too thin and allow cold air to bypass them instead of going through the core and getting properly heated.
Yesterday I put a new water pump in my suburban. I discovered it leaking as I left the radiator shop to drop off my radiator for the M1009. While I'm in coolant mode this summer, I'll see about installing the rebuilt heater core as well.
Note: I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on that Radiator Pressure Test Kit at HFT yesterday. It might have found a leak, but I can't braze that well anyway. So taking it to the professionals was the right call this time.
