Heater Core Replacement!?!? or ByPass?

I was wondering If anyone had replaced their Heater Core on a '99 or newer SuperDuty If so please advise I am getting a smell through my A/C and am contemplating bypassing it or replacing. Thank You in advance.

Check out this thread:

If you have a newer truck, it's a ridiculously easy job.

On edit:
Make sure you get new heater hose clips that snap onto the core inlet and outlet tubes as you'll most likely trash the existing ones.

Thank You I just started looking at it and it does look really easy. I just have to get a core from the ford dealer tomorrow. OR should I get an aftermarket one?
Thanks

That's your choice. My experience with parts is that OEM Ford parts are always better quality than aftermarket.
