John,
Your correct. The valve was the first way to control the heat during
the summer months. The reason it heats faster bypassing it is the
heater core acts like a second radiator when the valve is open.

On the rear of my engine is a water valve that directs flow to the
heater in my cab. From the heater another hose runs to the water
pump.
I do not have my heater mounted yet but want to drive my truck. I
connected a single hose directly from the valve to the water
pump. It
is necessary for this valve to be opened all the time for engine
cooling to take place? I'm not certain if they opened in the
winter
months and closed it completely during the hot summer months when
cab
heat was not needed. Would someone please educate me on this
matter.
I closed it completely and it seems my engine got hot fast.
Thanks,
John
