Has A/C with automatic temperature control, have to clamp off a heater hose to shut off the heat Under what circumstances is that vacuum operated valve supposed to close? Or is it a flapper door/control problem.
MOPARTS ALERT!: Chris Pugh aka gabodyman of Dalton, Georgia, cashed my $140 money order on 4-16-02 never sent parts. On 3-19-07 he agreed to return my money; "april 9, it will be in the mail by that date""will do as promised. chris" Still no parts and no money!

If its like my 84 d150 it only shuts the valve in the heater hose on Max A/C and "OFF". other wise it lets hot water pass. I determined this by putting a vacuum gauge on the line that connects to the valve and running it in all positions.
Wife's Durango is the same way--I added a ball valve to the heater hose and turn it off in the summer to get NO HEAT.

these cars also have a vaccuum fitting behind the controls that is prone to crumbling after 20 years....might be the culprit, too. of course, if that's the case, it should also default to just floor heat/cool
