this story is pretty odd, considering replacing the heater core has nothing to do with the alternator. I just changed my heater core myself and didn't do a thing to battery nor alt. Why check the fluids when you are dealing with battery?? If you check fluids in battery, I can understand this. NOTHING of such is mentioned. sounds more like you are making up stories. Sell the vehicle out, save your money
