Shutting off the heat

[jburgessx2]

Wayne,

I have it set to summer but it still seems to poor the heat out. We are on I-5
heading back to Port Hueneme and it was a hot one today. My wife set a
thermometer by her feet to check the temp - 105 degrees at the co-pilots seat
feet!!! My feet were at 87 degrees. I had the generator running with two of
the AC's going trying to cool it down. My dash AC doesn't work and I haven't
fixed it yet. I was hoping there was some way to turn the heat off at the
engine.

I don't think the heat of the generator and the heat of the road could produce
105 degrees in the passengers seat but I could be wrong.

Oh well, we will be home by noon tomorrow and I guess I can look into it
further. Maybe I have a stuck valve somewhere that isn't allowing the
winter/summer switch to work properly.

vents. I'm guessing it's coming from the chassis heating system since all the
others are off. Surely their must be a valve to shut off somewhere. . .

rear of the engine. Two are visible, two are down in front of the rear bumper,
practicly invisible. If all you want is to shut of heat, Ralph's post is a damn
sight easier
