Product Details

Spectra Premium heater cores are engineered and manufactured to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment they replace. This HVAC heater core is intended for vehicles that need restored cabin heat and proper coolant-to-air heat exchange in the heater box. It is a practical replacement for Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango models when the original core is leaking, restricted, or no longer transferring heat effectively. Part number 98090 is also referenced by several aftermarket interchange numbers for the same front HVAC application.

Common Repair Symptoms

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and front HVAC placement before installation. Heater core replacement typically requires access to the HVAC case and careful handling of coolant lines and seals. Flush the cooling system and inspect related hoses, clamps, and the heater control system before returning the vehicle to service. Confirm fitment for 2007-2009 Chrysler Aspen, front, and 2005-2009 Dodge Durango, front, before ordering.
