looking for best replacement heater core

[Z Long Bed]

There are signs that my heater core is nearing the end of its useful life. The GM original has lasted 292,000 miles.
I've looked at the local parts stores and they are all made in China. I have not check NAPA yet....
Does anyone know of a heater core NOT made in China?
Made in U.S.A. would be great! Rockauto dosnt list country of origin.

Thanks for any help.

Hey Z Long Bed,
I work at a dealership running the online parts dept through a website. I've been trying to help some members our on here with discounts. The heater core for a 1997 k1500 is GM part number 89019173. The list price is $143.64, the price on my website is $86.90. If you wanted this part with the extra discount I'm giving the GMT400 members it would be $83.31. This is quite expensive compared to the autozone aftermarket part but it is a quality OEM part. If you want to go with the OEM part send me a PM and Ill hook you up.

ok, PM sent.
Do you know where these are made? Has anyone on the forum bought/used one of these cores?
Thanks....
