Default 89 XJ 4.0, need help finding specific coolant hose...

Hello all,
Ok, I have a 89' XJ 4.0l Pioneer, Auto, without AC, and I need help locating (looked/called all over) the upper coolant hose that goes from:

5/8 hose from top of thermostat housing, then "T's" to the vacuum controlled valve that leads to the the heater core, and upper coolant return hose of the coolant expansion tank.

On my jeep this is all one unit (with the exception of a hose from the heater core to the vacuum valve) a metal T and an integrated (i believe, looks that way) valve that controls the flow of coolant to the heater core. I have managed to locate all the other hoses but I cannot find this one... I would like to replace the valve too while Im in there. Is there a model year that is interchangeable perhaps? The one on the jeep now is bombed out and depleted and is begging to be replaced. Any help at all is appreciated. Thanks!

I have already tried:

Google (perhaps my search-Fu is weak?)
Dealership
Quadratec
Carquest
Advance Autoparts
Orilleys
Autozone

Yes! Thank you. I went to rock auto and found the valve (heater control valve) Four Sasons part #74774. Really appreciate the lead! Cheers,

The factory one for my jeep is the 3 outlet model, I bought it today. Man, I sure wish I would have known of that teamcherokee.com hose set at the beginning of all this! Would have saved some time for sure. Although i have to admit, i only had plans to change the upper radiator hose and here i am almost finished installing ALL new coolant hoses, heater valve, and expansion tank..... Obsess much? Lol. Hopefully this information will help someone else though, so win win all around!

freegdr, I award you 10 internets, thank you for your help! Also, thank you for some new places to shop for hard to find parts. Cheers
