It's less about being cheap although yes I wouldn't mind saving the money, it's more about the timing and how quickly I can get those parts.Stop being cheap, Mark. Buy the correct parts and do this correctly.

Thank you for conferring that.Mark: it goes from the valve to the firewall heater core outlet pipe.
Exactly as the picture shows.
Look at the picture, look at the valve, look at your truck. It’s should be very obvious when you do that.
i would join themthat sounds like a bigger project than I can handle in the next few days, before a trip I have planned. So, as a stop Gap situation in order to remove the rear heater itself can I plug the two rubber lines going into the heater itself? Should I instead join them together?
If I were to cap it is there a known solution for that cap?Mark
The purple is the pound in bung I spoke of (i think in head). You either must cap that, or remove bung and put the right size freeze plug in its place.
And a way to plug/cap one of the ports in the block?You only need 3 hoses.

I'm just thinking simple/fast fix. join the inlet/outlet so you have flow, unless you understand better than I do how the cooling flows. maybe someone smarter than me will chime in.1. Which is the INPUT and which the OUTPUT from the rear heater?
2. Why is it not advisable to just plug the rear heater's input hose where it meets the hard line on the firewall? (until I get around to dealing with the "extra' block output (input? - see question #1)
It is better to have flow so you do not end up with any "dead ends" where coolant just sits, building up deposits. Join the 2 ends after removing as much of the rear heater lines as possible, removing potential points of failure. Best of luck!That is my question, is there any reason I can't just plug the lines rather than connecting the two?
