I have a 97 Ranger. V6 4litre. There is a valve near the left side of
the engine that is leaking coolant. It has four water hoses and a
vacume hose operating it. Can someone tell me what this thing is called
so I can order a new one? Seems like a heater by-pass???

Thanks,

Briang

Yep, heater control valve like Ollie said. I had to replace mine this past
summer on a '98 4.0L when it started leaking where the metal actuator arm
comes out. Much to my surprise, a new one was under 10 bucks at AutoValue
and took maybe 10 minutes to change.
