Review on MTC 7945 C 41051 Heater Control by Ben Rodriguez

I've heard a lot about cheaper plastic and general purpose heater control valves. a better design that lasts even longer on the cogs (I think that's true, btw). I don't consider myself a purist by any means, but due to the relative ease of installation and the snug fit right out of the box as it's an OEM part, I'm pretty happy it works as it's supposed to. It allows coolant to flow when heat is needed and blocks it when air conditioning is needed. If it fails again in a few years, I might come up with a better solution then, but for now I'm a happy backpacker.
