Hey vanners!
I've chased a mystery coolant leak for a month or so now and I've finally got it, now that every other part in the system broke and was replaced along the way. I'm now to the rear heater valve for the recreational package. This thing is dodging me at every turn. I've finally discovered the part name and number and I'm hoping the experts here can help me out. It's a Four Seasons Heater Valve 74862. The part number according to Summit is FSS-74862.
Does anyone have a good link to buy a new one? Or a secret ebay store that carries all the dumb stuff you can't find online? Anything helps, I'm currently keeping it from pissing everywhere with a pair of needle-nose vice grips clamped on the hose and tied back on itself. It works like a champ, but colder days weren't the most fun for the back seats! Thanks in advance, I know someone here is going to have the secret source for me.

 

a 2 second google search for "heater valve 74862" called up numerous items for sale. Do those not suit you?

 

I don't know why I never thought to google it!! No, none of those 'results' suit me. They're dead links or empty parts store ads. Or the item is no longer available with no known date to be in stock again. It's the crazy shaped valve with the 2-foot hard line that is used on vans with A/C and the recreational heater in the rear.

 

seems to be out of production. You could pick up any generic vacuum actuated valve and plumb it in yourself with some bulk hose and a handful of fittings.
