Hello everyone, I'm new here and have a question concerning the Dodge Durango heater core bypass process.
I have a 2001 Durango and like many others here have a great deal of trouble with the A/C system. I'm thinking the heater core bypass is something I'd like to try.
With only a shut off valve added to the input hose, when closed will it cause any harmful back pressure in the system? I see the one valve shut off as a good easier way to eliminate heat but I want to be safe.
Would it be better to have a combination shut off and bypass system acting together? Isolate the heater core and fluid flow back into the system?
I'm handy but I want to be safe also. I'd appreciate your input and suggestions. My Durango at it's best gives me around 60-65 degrees when the ambient temperature is 95 degrees. Everything is fine in the system when it's started in the morning when it's cool outside and the engine is cool also. I've had it to about 48 degrees. In mid afternoon when the engine is hot and that inlet heater core hose is hot my A/C efficiency goes downhill. I see I'm not the only one with that problem. Dodge has no clue!
Thank You For Your Help!
