Gates 18-20 Ford F Series V-6 3.5L Heater Control Valve Electric Coolant Valve

This is the Gates electric coolant heater control valve for 2018-2020 Ford F-150 trucks equipped with the 3.5L V-6 engine. This valve is a key component in your truck's heating system, controlling the flow of coolant to the heater core. When you turn your temperature dial or push the climate control buttons, this valve opens or closes to regulate how much hot coolant circulates through the heater core, which then warms the air blown into the cabin.

Gates is a well-known name in cooling system parts, and this electric valve is built to replace the original part directly. It's designed to manage coolant flow accurately, ensuring your climate control system can effectively heat the cabin when needed. Because it's an electric valve, it integrates with your truck's existing climate control module, responding to electronic signals to maintain your desired temperature. Replacing a faulty heater control valve can resolve issues like no heat, inconsistent cabin temperature, or coolant leaks around the valve body.
