Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ ACDelco GM OEM 22728343 Heater Core by Jake Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Heater core replacement - still works well

Works well, fits snugly. No leaks. I solved my problem with the heater core on a 2004 Saturn. Nothing indicated that it was anything other than a quality replacement core. Now I have several thousand miles and several months on the core with no problems. The dimensions are identical to the original and there were no problems during installation. However, if you are installing this yourself I have found that I need to use duct locking pliers to make it easier to insert the heater tube from the motor into the core. No matter how I tried to insert the aluminum tube that goes from the engine to the core, I just didn't have the strength to do it. Traditional pliers don't work because the jaws don't open as wide as channel lock pliers. The rubber o-rings fit so snugly that channel locks were required to get the job done. If you're groaning and groaning while trying to force the tube into the core, save yourself a lot of frustration and buy channel blocking pliers if you don't already have them.

Pros
  • Offers the quality, reliability and durability of genuine GM parts
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other parts
