I took mine to the dealer and they told me $600.00 and up depends on how long it took them. I picked up the part and did the job myself for $38.00. I started on a friday night and sat night it was up and running again. It was my first time to change one, but if you got a haynesrepair manual or a CDrepair manual it willtell you everything you need to get the job done.</P>

i found a fast way to do it drop the column down take out gauge cluster and counsole loosen all dash bolts 6 screws across top 2 5/16 bolts by kick panel and dont forget the one directly under column its either a 7/16 or 10 mm pull dash back and set on seats the pass. side can move out enough to get htr box out 2 bolts on top of box 2 in eng. compartment behind a/c dryer and the bolt inside at bottom of htr. box usually covered by carpet remove htr. box take off top cover 4 5/16 screws and replace htr core sounds like alot of work but its not that bad i've done so many i can do them in my sleep can be done in 2 to 3 hrs max this way and save a lot of money hope i helped.

how important is it to have that restrictor in the hose to slow down the flow, will the heater core go out faster without it? does it make alot of difference?

What restrictor?

there is a restrictor inside 1 of the factory htr core hoses that restricts the flow through the htr core it helps to have it so far mine has lasted 3 yrs without it.
