Shut-Off On Heater Hose Keeps Pickup From Overheating FARM SHOP Handy Hints 21-5-34 Larry Wiebe, Whitewater, Kan.: "I had problems with the 454 cu. in. engine over-heating on my 1977 Chevrolet pickup. The problem was that hot water that comes off the heater was being pumped back into the cool water side of the radiator. I put a shut-off on the heater hose to prevent hot water from going into the cool water side of the radiator. I cut the heater hose and mounted a clamp on each side of it."
