You can either use the Ranger (or ambulance) heater core shutoff valves or you can get a ball valve, a few hose clamps and a couple barb fittings and just make a manual valve.
The Ranger type is vacuum operated and you tie in somewhere behind the glovebox.
I just used a manual valve.

I'm confused on two levels. first, my a/c so so freaking cold I have to direct it away from my hands while driving. Believe me, I love it. So i don't see how warm water is seeping through my heater core at the same time. Second doesn't the a/c heat system already have a valve that turns off the hot water when ac is on? then when you don't want it so bone chilling cold you turn the dial down a bit and it lets warm water flow to offset the cold, like a water faucet. So I don't understand the mod.

I got a standard1/2" ball valve, some barb fittings for it, and a couple hose clamps. It's a little small for the heater hose but with a couple clamps tightened down good I've got colder AC and no leaks.

I just did the manual thing also, Didn't want to putz around with controlling it from in the cab. Shut the valve in May. Open the valve in late September. If something changes, Pop hood flip valve.. AC drops at least 5 to 8 degrees.. Either way It is awsome.
