Thanks. Next nightmare to come. I have sourced and have an SD40 to go back stock. Looks like previous owner also modified fuel line to put on new "janky" carburetor. So will have to look at that next. I all ready have new fuel line from red line land cruisers and a new fuel pump.
I knew the water lines and fuel were going to be a problem as they were about the only things that were modified. Except hole in dash and doors for radio and speakersLuckily those are a distant memory all new metal.

You don't appear to mention the year of your truck and any mods, engine changes, etc. etc. so what I have here is intended for years indicated on the picture. If it doesn't apply, please ignore.
The "tee" is upside-down so the part number shows.
The head is under pump pressure while this tee is on the suction side of the pump. Flow travels from the head to the tee when the valve is open.
What is the sending unit you have on top of the tee connected to? With the valve closed, it's not going to see much water flow to keep up with the increase in water temp.

That’s about how many I went through to get one that works, mostly. I have the thumb turn thingy that you turn to open and close the valve, it just doesn’t want to stay attached
. I’ve peened it in place but I don’t trust it staying there, so it’s in its own special box on the shelf that I pull it out twice a year, beginning of winter to open the valve and beginning of spring to close it. I crack myself up.
