Dennis, Guess you could bypass the heater core if you want but plannin to change it seems to be a no brainer. I would be more concerned with a leak in a 3 year old radiator. Is it a stock style unit or an aftermarket type?

Hi Guys, My new in 2006 radiator has a small leak and Sunday, while attending the big Orange Circle car show, it became obvious that my heater core is leaking. Coolant soaked the padding between carpet and firewall, wetting my son's foot. Tonight I snipped the radiator cap to stop pressure from building so I can drive about 100 miles to four Southern California car shows this weekend. Now what? Replace the (original) heater core and repair the radiator? I really know the answer, one should not have to ask the list, one should just bite the bullet and "Get 'er done."
