Ugh. I hate the 5 password entry system here... anywho..

Heater core is labor intensive to a certain extent. I had mine done at the dealer, heater core alone ran about 700$ parts and labor [4 hours labor 300$ for the core] which was reasonable.

Turned out my hvac system was full of dirt and mud, and while everything was apart I decided to have a new condenser , blower and gaskets installed in addition to a new manifold on the firewall plus a new dryer. Ran me about 1500$ for a rebuilt hvac with warranty.

My heat/ac is awesome now.

Heater cores are a problem in trucks from the desert states. The owners never usually run the heater, so water/coolant builds up and never gets flushed out of the system, so it sits and corrodes the core.
