heater valve

well of course it broke while i was in the middle of no where...of the four nipples coming off it three broke...looped one of the longer hoses back to bypass the heater core and got it home...was bout a 20 minute fix if that...30 bucks later i got new hoses and all...guess at almost 220K miles things made of plastic give way

I broke mine changing the spark plugs. Luckly I was able to grab one off of one of Matt's parts jeeps without breaking it.

I just changed mine 2 weeks ago,.. noticed a could of drips coming from it and figured it was time,... better safe than stranded

i didn't know what it was at first...seen the three were broke off and expected the last one to break taking the hose off...got to looking at it and figured out what it did...at least i had my tool box with me this time instead of on the porch like normal...the guy at napa knew what it was as soon as i set it on the counter...he got the part before he touched the computer...said i got the last one so i'm guessing a few people have had the same thing thing happen lately
