Question Hot water

[twt]

I rember reading about a valve that turns off the hot water so the vent air is cooler, anyone know where to find the write-up?

Are you talking about the mod where you tie into the vacuum lines behind the glovebox or are you just wanting to put a shutoff valve in the heater hose?

lots of folks just put a ball valve in the heater core / supply line
and shut it off the flow of hot coolant to the heater core for
the summer.

or you can use this adjustable valve from dieselsite.com

the vacuum actuated valve can be sourced from a '00 ranger

FWIW ?I did the Heater Core By-Pass Mod with the Ranger valve, but I've found I miss the By=level for Heat in the winter. Bob, at Dieselsite sez they are going to introduce an 12v operated valve, selective in any blend posistion, A/C or Heat.

'Bout 2 weeks ago he said it should be available very Soon.

It depends on which vacuum line you tie into. The red I think will only give you heat on the windshield and in the floor. But if you tie into the white vacuum line behind the glovebox it only cuts the heater core off in the max ac position. Explorers had the valve too. I got mine off a '96 model explorer.

I probably had $20 bucks in my AC mod all together.
