According to 80.13 in the Bentley, the point of adjustment seems to be
in the dash.  Check above the spare tire first.  You may find that the
arm on the valve is going all the way to the "closed" position but the
hot water is still circulating.  In this case you probably need to
replace the valve.
 Have fun.  I don't see this van in your signature file!
