Heater core
Im thinking of replacing my heater core but i see theres a high out put. Wanted to ask if the high output will work in place of a standard out put unit without a/c. There is no mention of the high output being ac or non ac.

Box must be different, since it says "high output" molded into the box. I think we have come to the conclusion that the high output was only available without A/C. So if you have A/C, it's not going to fit anyway.

Oops, looks like my computer ate most of my post. The Hi-Output unit uses a different box under the hood, it actually has hi-output embossed in it:
The cab side is the same, I put that one in my truck in place of a standard one.

Mine is a standard one. I took and ordered at work since it was slow from our local shop a replacement copper heater core for a standard truck. Figured since it was built/sold in Tx it wouldn't have the high output heater core. Sure enough I was right the standard core fit just right. I even took and sealed the blend door with some house hold foam strips that is tacky on one side.
I don't know what it was but I could flush the heater core out water would come through what I thought was very quickly and easily. But wouldn't put out much heat. New heater core the needle just starts to move up to the C mark on the temp gauge and its already blowing air as warm as it was after running for nearly an hour. I also saw staining pointing to a leak on the core. Probably where my coolant was going and why I kept having to add half a gallon to a gallon of coolant every 2 months or so.
