I can't find a diagram of how the heater is hooked up. All I know is that the hot water flows through it no mater what and it makes the cab very hot. Does it have its own thermostat?

Thanks
Andy

No, you need to add a Summer/Winter cut-off valve in one of the lines under the hood. The heaters were all dealer installed accessories so there really is no right or wrong way to do it. That said Chevrolet did have a valve-nipple that would thread into the block that the hose connected to that made it an easy job.

Since I won't be using it in cooler times can I just disconnect it?

you can disconnect it without hurting anything, you just won't have heat (or defrosters)
