Default Heat not too good?

Can you bypass the heater control thing under the hood of my jeep? it has a vacume line attached to it... Woundering if it will help make my heat better?

I would think u can.......'98 and newer don't have the heater control valve.....just 2 hoses direct to/from the heater core.
