HEAT VALVE
i havnt had strong heat for a while in my 96 sport 4.0 aw4. i flushed heater core and no better. i took off what i think was the heat control valve and found it was a little gunked up, went to put it back in and broke a nip off it. so i just ran strait through with no valve, now i have stong heat, the valve im talking about is to the pass. side of the valve cover and is on the heater hoses just before the core... is this ok to run it without this valve?
if this is not a good idea how much would this valve cost?
also what is this valve exactly becuase it cant be the only mixing system becasue even through this valve is gone the heat still cools down some when you put the selector to cold...
