My daughter used to have a 2009 Ranger which got totaled. We replaced it with a 2010 Mazda B4000 which we understood was mainly built to Ford specs and with Ford parts. I call it the Clone Ranger. Anyway her HVAC Heater Control Valve in the picture is leaking. I have been searching all over Canada and the US for the Mazda part number LD-49-61-170A. No luck. Would anyone know if the Ranger has a similar Heater Control Valve, and if it would fit, and possible a part number. I know this is a Ranger site and she misses her real Ranger but perhaps someone might have some information to help. Thank you.

 

Search for the same year Ford ranger. Parts should be the same.

 

Looks like the same factory 2WayBallValve\HeaterControl (click for image), JunkPlastic notorious for cracks+leaks,
that came on my 2001 (not the 3Way\4WayBallValve in some models)?
Several years ago swapped in a traditional Metal 2WayPlugValve (click for images + vendors); be sure to buy VacToClose version, not VacToOpen.

I did just that after I posted and found a Ford part nearby, and just picked it up. It is the same except the old one has a metal casing for the vacuum, whereas this new one is plastic. Thanks for your reply.
