Some Nissan TITAN owners report experiencing difficulties when replacing the heater control valve and refilling antifreeze. These issues can arise if existing hoses are not preserved properly, as cutting hose clamps with angle wire cutters is necessary to avoid damage. Additionally, some owners find it challenging to pry the hose off the barbed nipple on the valve body, which can complicate the replacement process. When using a "Gates EHV114" heater control valve, there may be confusion about connecting the old hoses to the new assembly. Furthermore, if the antifreeze is not refilled according to the specific guidelines outlined in the factory service manual, owners risk improper functioning of the heating system. It is crucial for owners to follow these steps carefully to ensure a successful repair.
