Im going to replace the thermostat in my 2000 Durango SLT to hopefully solve the problems i posted in another thread. First would be what thermostat do i need to get? and second how do i install it ? Any help is greatly appreicated

 

You'd have to get at least two gallons of anti freeze just in case cause you're gonna lose some when you drain the radiator. On my D, the t-stat is located on the bottom hose coming from the rad. In my situation, I'd have to get under the engine and disconnect the hose from the t-stat. The t-stat should be held on by two bolts. The recommended replacement would be an 180 degree t-stat. While you're down there why not replace the hose and replace the factory clamps w/ screw-type hose clamps? Wouldn't hurt but would certainly help... Just my .02, HTH.

 

What engine?

Get a 180 degree T-stat replacement.

 

I'll just give a piece of the 2000 Service Manual I'll attach.

 

Cool, do you have one for an 01 4.7???

 

Should be the same.

To answer your question, no I don't have a 2001 service manual in the D but i got it in Ram and Dakota.

 

Meh, should be the same layout...

 

Use a stock replacement stat on the 4.7l and remember to burb it afterwards!
