man~ you are in for it, I spent 2 days getting that replaced on that truck, NOT FUN, lol

We bought a aluminum one

Heater cores are never fun. Is there any discernable quality difference between the two besides the material that you know of? I'd get the most expensive, because heater cores are a bitch. Copper is generally a better material, and doesn't corrode as much. However, the aluminum one might be a higher quality construction. What does it come with?

they say it comes with the aluminum

the aluminum is actually the same price as the copper brass one which is weird I though the aluminum would be more expensive.

thanks for all the advise
