Hi folks,
While using a breaker bar on my oil filter (no kidding...it must have been put on with an impact wrench before I bought the car), I broke the water valve. I believe that is the proper term (based on an oblique reference in the FSM). It is the vacuum-actuated valve with 2 water lines going to the heater core and 2 going to the front of the motor. I broke the vacuum switch off of the valve (both plastic). I fixed it for several months with a plastic epoxy, but it came off again. (I.e. no heat in the middle of winter.) I just zip tied it on (that should hold better than the epoxy), but I'd like to replace the part. Does anybody know the part number (or official name) from Dodge? I tried looking around parts.com but couldn't find anything that matched.
Thanks!
