Heater Control Valve in my 1994 Chevy Astro, daily driver

I started getting a funny vibrating noice in my daily driver (1994 Chevy Astro) at high RPMs. Sounded like a turbo. After going over the van, me and my husband pin pointed the location of the sound. It was the heater control valve. Well, because I am restoring my 1993 Astro van. I figured why not order a new valve for my 93, and used the 93 valve in my 94. My 93 is getting most all new parts anyway, why throw out a still working part.

I love astro Van's. I had a 03 for 14 years. Great wagon

Yes! I am obsessed with them because it does everything I need and they are comfy and heavy duty. And they are still hard working 30 years later. And I love the look😁

In my 94 Astro, I took out the broken valve & bypassed with a straight pipe. Heat is still controlled nicely by the dash controller.

Yes, the fan is what throws the heat into the van. But without that control valve. The heat will always be there when you go to use the a/c or even just the vent. Also being able to turn that valve also controls how fast your engine warms up in winter.

When I changed mine out I ran the lines and the valve to the top so next time it would be a 5 minute job.

nice! I also had just put in a new control valve in my 93. Im hoping it will last another 30 years like the original one did.
