Thanks for the heads up, did my dash last year along with heater core and a/c evaporator - but now the bezel is falling apart - will be hitting up LMC for the new one - they are 1/2 the price of the dealer - hoping the quality is better (of the plastic) too.

This is perfect! The dash on my '01 just cracked a couple months ago, and I've been waiting for a really good reason to bite the bullet and replace it. This weekend, when I turned on the heater, I was greeted with the sweet smell of anti-freeze. 10 years, 150,000 miles. Must be time!
Any recommendations for heater core source?
Cheers,
Jim

I can't remember where I bought my heater core - Rockauto or the like. I had to buy a few before I got one that was not made in China. I ended up with one made in Taiwan and it was actually very nice. The quality is much better and I refuse to use Chinese car parts. I found an a/c drier not made in China too.

I had to the my A/C over when the first Evaporator core I bought (made in China) broke after 40 days. I had to buy a new drier, new evaporator and do the job all over again. Wow, was I ******.
