I plan on replacing my heater core, heater valve, and the hoses that associate with them. It would be nice to actually have HEAT in the XJ this winter, as I proved to myself that any type of flushing of the core proved no help, not to mention now I smell coolant upon turning on my HVAC fan...
I had a few questions.
Where do I find the metal valve? The parts house hopefully. Dont want to go to the dealer unless it isnt expensive. Id prefer it not to be plastic.
What about the metal tee? Do they sell JUST the tee?
I plan on replacing all the rubber hoses up in the area of the heater valve, heater core, and overflow tank, since they are 20 year old factory hoses pressed on with metal fittings. I think its about time they be changed. Does the parts house sell the associated molded hoses?
The bottom 90* hose that runs to the bottom of the pressure tank. Where do I find that? Dealer??
Do NOT suggest open conversion, as I am quite happy with my XJ running at 190*F all year round.
Thanks for any help.
