<p>For years I've read here about the TR3 heaters being deficient.
Up until last year, I really couldn't tell, as I had never
finished my side curtains. However, last year I did finish them,
and used them in freezing weather. I learned why you need to have
the sliding windows.</p>
<p>My heater (original) performs wonderfully.<br>

I made a new heater valve for the top of the head from
fittings from the local TruValue hardware store. I used a
ball valve with a lever handle and had to make a fitting
to match the hose to the firewall fitting. Has worked
great for about 10 years.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

The major issue with my heater was the return pipe that
goes from near the firewall to the water pump on the
driver’s side. Mine had rusted solid since I had checked
it last. I replaced it with a stainless steel one from
either TRF or Moss. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

had a question for the list. I'm just not getting as
much heat through the Marydane (sp) replacement heater
in tr-3. Temp guage shows 185 degrees but temp
through heater is warmish and I can grab with my hands
the heater hoses going into the heater. Checked flow
and everything out and I'm pretty sure its the heater
valve on the block. It's the faucet type with the
green round handle. I'm thinking the inside broke
loose and its closed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

years ago I bought a radiator valve of a similar type

heater valve came from the same vendor and I'm
guessing they both might not be made well.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
