    Help me add a manual fan override switch to my 5ton

    I think I have a bag of 1/4" check valves already. I'll check when I get home. I personally want to add this extra circuit for when driving at a crawl through the soft fields or woods. I'm always dragging trees or various other things to the house. Lack of air flow across the radiator, along...

    The parts guy happened to stop by this morning and said that the valve was specific to that piece of equipment. I could get one for the mere price of $183.xx...plus shipping.
