2001 S80 Heater Core-best aftermarket?

Post by T64me »

I am doing work on a 2001 S80 that is owned by a friend of the family. I am putting hundreds of my own dollars into parts for the car because I'm trying to help out this kid. As I was working on something else I noticed the floor is damp from antifreeze. I wish I could afford a Behr core but that is not in the budget. Has anyone purchased another brand and had good luck?

FYI, I decided to try replacing just the orings where the tubes are inserted in the heater core. So far, so good. This seems to have stopped the leaks and saved me a bunch of money.
