    2 questions. My aftercooler core is bad. Does not hold pressure. Housing is fine.

    1, does anyone know where I can get a used aftercooler core?

    2, has anyone used a perkins core? any recommendation about using an aftermarket core vs a cummins?

     

    Thanks, Jim

    Have you identified where the core leak is?Ā  If it’s one or two tubes they can be plugged off.Ā  As to used – eBay, FB marketplace, etc.Ā  Don’t have any experience with any other cores other than Cummins and SMX.
