I'm on my 2nd heater core from Johns Mustang, keep having problems with them snapping on install (I've done this before, never had a problem). They all seem to be really poorly brazed...

Anyways, who makes the best one out there? They're not expensive, but I really don't want to do this again.

Thanks.

I got mine from a local parts store and so far so good. If you want to be really sure it will not leak from the braze take it to a radiator shop and have them add some more at the joints. Also tank test it in your sink before putting it in the car.

NAPA has worked well for me as well.

I got mine from AutoZone and have had no issues. Well, I did have one issue. Had it in the car for a year and it clogged up, resulting in no heat. No fault of the heater core, as I take all the blame for not taking care of my cooling system. Anyway, it has the lifetime warranty and cost only something like $25.00 when I bought it in 2006. I took it back and got a new one (FREE!), which works like a champ. Can't beat their lifetime warranty.
