That is a "Heater Control Valve." It diverts coolant flow when you're not using the heat.
Later models don't even have it. You can remove it and hook the hoses together...

I've had a popping coming from my front end for quite some time now. New front wheel joints, tie rod ends, adj. front trac bar. I've looked at it and can't seem to find it. It used to only doing when I was in 4wd crawling up hills it'd pop whenever I'd bounce around. Now I noticed it does it when I put it in reverse or am backing up and I stoop. It'll clank, any ideas?
