Works great but had to use the original hose connections from the old one.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Upgrades

This is very important as I had to replace the heater core due to the aluminum spring leaking. Coolant started leaking into my cabin, but since the OEM had a valve, I was able to switch to AC and shut off the valve for…
