Yesterday was a bad Ranger day as a couple of things failed or broke. But the major thing is I've now got a big coolant leak. I found the leak but I'm hoping someone can give me a specific part name before I ask for a "doohickie thing" at the parts store. There is a valve that seems to control water flow direction to (or from) the heater core in the cab. I've found that If I switch on the dash vents from the climate controls, a plunger(?) moves on this valve and coolant gets sprayed all over the engine bay when the motor is running. The temperature switch position doesn't affect this, just the dash vent selection. Anyone have a specific name? And damn, it looks kind of expensive.
much thanks, Scott
