I read the the post that you linked to and there is one problem.
In that post, it says to get the "high output" one. Don't do that unless you have a High Output heater box. They are different.
I saw one in the junkyard last week and it was the first time I have ever seen one. That truck also had the dual battery option and I grabbed the second battery tray. It mounts where your windshield washer/overflow tank goes.
Just an FYI in case you are thinking about getting the high output core.

I'm thinking about grabbing the whole assembly and putting it in my truck. It can get pretty cold here in the winter.
I'm guessing that it was part of a plow package or something along those lines because of the additional battery too.
I'll try and post some pics tomorrow when I get back.
