You can use the valve from a B-Van (1500 Ram Van) as it works via cable. It
shuts the valve on the heater lines...preventing hot water from circulating.

Subject: Re: DML: Too Hot in the Dak
That a great Idea! I did get a by-pass valve for a 2000 v-6 (i think is
is) but never installed in my dak. Been looking for a control cable and way
to install it. I've been told that shutting off the flow to the heater core
will or may cause it to corrode. Any one have a thought about that?
