The odd thing is that with different size hoses, the valve will only fit on the 5/8" hose, yet yours is on the hose from the radiator.... which on my truck is 3/4".
Sorry I was wrong I do have mine plumbed like yours.
From top of core to top of radiator... From bottom of core 3/4 to valve out of valve to 5/8 connecting to intake. What is the direction of water circulation???
The problem I am having is the vacuum logic is not matching what the heater control is set at. I get hot water through my core when I should not have flow. Could my vacuum VALVE ON THE CONTRILLER IN MY TRUCK BE PLUMBED BACWARDS?? Sorry for the caps hit the wrong key...
