Shutting off the heat

[ronmarabito2002]

There are 4 valves on the engine. One is low behind the bumber. Shut them all
off. You will not hurt anything. That will stop your heat.

I-5 heading back to Port Hueneme and it was a hot one today. My wife set a
thermometer by her feet to check the temp - 105 degrees at the co-pilots seat
feet!!! My feet were at 87 degrees. I had the generator running with two of
the AC's going trying to cool it down. My dash AC doesn't work and I haven't
fixed it yet. I was hoping there was some way to turn the heat off at the
engine.

switches on dash and panels above. But, we are still getting heat out of the
vents. I'm guessing it's coming from the chassis heating system since all the
others are off. Surely their must be a valve to shut off somewhere. . .

practicly invisible. If all you want is to shut of heat, Ralph's post is a damn
sight easier
