The no Mopar unit part is depressing. Replacing a junk radiator is a simple job, replacing heater core really sucks.
Yes it does. Replacing it twice because of crap parts is even worse.

Performance radiator shows the later model tj heater core back in stock.

I have one of these in order … I really like the idea of hand made, all metal construction. Made in USA too.
If this brass heater core will last as long as the heater core in my old corvette (that was not made with care and attention to detail) I’ll be very happy … BTW that corvette is 42 years old. Also still has the original Harrison Brass Radiator.

it shows in stock on the main page but then it's out of stock once it's in the cart.

You already use their cores? I am thinking about ordering one as well. This is a complicated job to replace the heater core, don’t want to do it twice.
I don’t mind paying more for us made product, as it seems to be a small custom business.
And comparison of how the inside of the engine block drain plug looks is stunning.

That is impressive.
I need to hear more about this water soluble oil...Put 3 oz of water soluble oil in the radiator.
Do you know of anyone who has block rusting issues who has maintained their system appropriately by not leaving the coolant in there past the life span of the anti-corrosion additive package found in all quality coolants? I know that I for one would highly appreciate spending less time on the phone and less time answering emails due to the seemingly impossible task of flushing brake fluid at the recommended service interval of 2 years. If folks would do that, we would have far fewer damaged calipers, pads and rotors with the occasional unit bearing tossed in for good measure.I need to hear more about this water soluble oil...

Water Soluble Oil is a surfactant.
It bonds the water to the surface of the entire cooling system.
This allows heat to better transfer from the surface to the water, then out to the radiator.
Typical results are a 15 to 20 degrees drop in coolant temp.
Added benefit is the lubrication of water pump seals.
I have been using it for decades.
