Re: Horace's heater always blowin hot-air (despite a replacement of his under-dash heater-control valve) , Ron Waters told me that the only sure-way to solve H's problem was to move to CT [where it's always a coool-place, to live, I hear] . Well, per the advise of Bob Levanduski (who also lives in a cool place--OH) and Ron Mog [a friend, a MoPar old-school mechanic, who hates Komputerz more than moi ] , jointly suggested that I should install an in-line heater-water-line shut-off valve, to ensure that coolant does not flow thru the heater core, because, apparently, a "baffle", inside the heater-core may have a 'stripped-out' connection/joint, so that it does not move, in response to 'input', from the heater-slide-lever. So, if anyone 'out' there has a similar 'problem', with an always-hot interior, the culprit might NOT have to be "baffling" to ya, any longer! BTW, the in-line shut-off valve installation is a 10-minute 'operation'--cut the heater line (I used a pruning shears) , insert the 2 ends of the 'valve' (I used 'correct-type' wire hose-clamps, to secure the ends of the valve, to the hose-ends), re-install coolant (lost when you cut the 'line') , and you are DONE. Now, I've got COOL air coming out of the dashboard--whatta concept!
