heater control valve
does anyone know where I can find a real (metal heater control valve). I have been through 2 of the cheap plastic ones in the last 9 months. I double checked and I had the flow running though them correctly. the diaphram has given out on all three of them. I don't know how long the first one had been on it prior to my getting the truck. I am not overheating or over pressured.

D4AZ-18495-A Heater Water Control Valve Assy. (Motorcraft YG-136) The illustration in vacuum hose section of the a/c-heater diagram shows a vacuum line leading to this control valve. (197/9~pic errs by showing a 302 engine, but the same diagram reflects all engines (300/302/351M/360/390/400/460).
In addition under the dash, there are several blend door vacuum motors, and a a/c-heater temp regulator assy.

my problem is the one controling the amount of hot water to the heater core it is under the hood right next to the firewall.
changing it is the esay part finding a metal valve that will last is a real pain the one for my 65 was so much easier to find

[QUOTE=Mil1ion]Is this metal or plastic?
Looks like both

It is both, and always has been. Pic reference: Section 197, page 9 -lower picture (pic shows a 302, but all are basically the same and use the same valve). The valve was a big seller in the 1980's and 90's.
