Got the valve in. My engine out hose was unmarked for whatever reason and it would not budge no matter the amount of twisting, pulling or cursing involved. I had to cut a 1/2" slit at the end, work it off and then cut it flush. I doubt anyone will notice if I go back to stock.
It was an immediate success! I got the following results after testing. I was interested in how much heat we could also get out of the system with the valve in different positions for some reasons ppl mentioned above so tested that as well.
Conditions - 84F ambient, 85% humidity, truck in the garage, garage doors open, engine at 1000 RPM, Max AC, recirc on
Temp readings below taken from left to right. Heat testing done in drivers center vent only.
Stock Max AC
51 53 45 46
Valve full closed Max AC
45 44 44 46
Valve full closed Max heat
Ambient
Valve one turn open Max AC
46 45 44 46
Valve one turn open Max Heat
Ambient +5F
Valve two turns open Max AC
46 45 44 46
Valve two turns open Max Heat
Ambient +20F
I repeated the above test at two turns open twice with the same result and stopped there leaving the valve at that position.
I thought it was pretty interesting I could get from 45F to 104F in about 5 minutes and then back down in another 5.
