We only get maybe a couple weeks of 90+ temps here,but every time it happens(like now,lol) i think about adapting an old cable operated shut off valve into the heater hose,then it cools off,and i forget about it,lol.Back in the day, they came on every mopar car.
When you would go to max AC, the vac. would go to the fresh air actuator inside and also to the heater valve.
For ex. FOUR SEASONS 74803 or the FOUR SEASONS 74776
And years before that, there were cable actuated heater valves.
We hit 90F yesterday with 60% humidity,but that was a bit later in the day,but we only get those temps usually for at most a couple weeks of the year,but we'll hit -30+ for a couple months in the winter,lolNot even the highest part of the day yet.
Not all. My 2017 does not. And those valves do not shut off the hot coolant flow to the heater coreDon't all ~2009-2018 hemi Ram 1500's have an electronic coolant bypass valve from the factory anyway?
Pentastar powered classics have them to this day as far as I know.
You would need to put 2 shutoffs. 1 in and 1 out. Or just bypass it for now by taking the hoses and putting them togetherMy '13 has cold a/c, but my heater core is failing. I put some sealer in it and it's ok for now, but I'm putting a valve inline on the hose in case it fails out on the road somewhere. I can just shut it off then.
So that one that Wildone posted is no good ? ....You would need to put 2 shutoffs. 1 in and 1 out. Or just bypass it for now by taking the hoses and putting them together
