As I have seen, you give sound advice. I agree.... I used to like to piddle, but have less time and find some stuff frustrating, esp this heater core. Turns out since I have a vortec its $169 at Auto Zone, $149 at Advanced and $122 at the dealer. I have a non-vortec in my hands and noticed that it says Vortec under the hood, I was hoping the $36.99 core would work. Oh well to the dealer I go.
I have a cbr 1000 that needs fork seals, a Sleekcraft w/ an outboard that needs a few things - 2 hours or so, nothing major, and my daughters' cars to keep up on....My stuff, I don't want to work on!!
Solid truck, just little stuff like you said. Maybe a new 350Z makes sense.
How do you make room for core removal?
