It looks like I broke a hose coming from the thermostat housing at first but I think I actually broke that it off from that splitter like thing that connects a bunch of hoses. If so where do I get a new one? thanks Jake

Eliminate it. Newer vehicles don't have one. Make something up from plumbing that allows flow all the time and your heater core won't clog up as much either.

Then you have heat coming in the cab at all times. Not good right now. I got a new valve at NAPA for about $20. JIM.

Man i have three of those laying here on my computer desk lol... For some reason i keep breaking them when i drive... Mainly at Higher RPMs. So when ever i go to the JY i pick them up as spares. If you lived closer id let you have one...

Heat in the cab does not seem to be a problem. Later Jeeps have no valve, even with the same HVAC system.
