One way to temporarily solve the problem is to use a hose clamp designed to pinch a hose closed and apply it to the tube near the valve. The valve is accessible after you remove the spare tire. You can use a pair of snipenose visegrips with the jaws covered in bicycle innertube rubber and use a ziptie to hold the pliers in place. The objective is to stop the flow of hot coolant through the heat exchanger. In my case the yahoo who installed the coolant feed plumbed it backwards so the direction of flow tended to open rather than close the poorly designed valve. p
