    Replacing the thermostat in a 2002 dodge ram truck
    Hi You

    I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how to replace a thermostat in a 2002 dodge ram truck . It over heated today and it was -30 without the windchill so it must be frozen shut. But for awhile now it doesn't really ever blow warm air it stays pretty cool. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Find the top radiator hose and follow it to where it bolts to the block. There will be a cap with two or three bolts holding it in place. Remove the bolts and take the cap off. Under there is the thermostat. Take it out and get a new one. Be sure to clean the surface really good and install a new gasket. Bolt in place and refill with antifreeze solution and start it up, check for leaks and after running for about 30 minutes, check to be sure the radiator overflow is still full.
