SOURCE: 1996 Dodge Dakota heater doesn't get very hot only gets warm

it could be the heater controls itself i had a 95 ford f150 that did the same thing i replaced everything i could as i live in upstate ny and in the winter it gets pretty cold so replaced all i could ,heater coil,radiator,thermostat,coolant and nothing a local mechanic told me to check the control in the dash to see if it was going all the way to the hot position. i took the dash apart to get to it and checked it and the cable that mmoves the valve on the heater coil was stretched so it wasnt going all the way to hot. not that its the same thing but its a place to start

SOURCE: I need to know where the thermostat is in a 2004 DODGE DAKOTA 3.7

follow the upper radiator hose to the engine, drain about 1/2 gallon of coolant and then pull upper hose off at the engine, look inside the metal large nipple, that is the thermostat.

SOURCE: location of spark plugs in 2005 dodge dakota

To change the sparks on a 2005 4.7L Dodge Dakota you will need the following:

  • Spark plug socket
  • Ratchet
  • Torque wrench
  • Extension
  • Flat-tip screwdriver
  • Make sure the truck is cold!!!

Note you will have to remove the air intake located at the top of the engine, and will have to move some of the coolant lines out of the way.

At the top of the engine there are 4 sparks on each side. The coils are held in place with a 10mm bolt. Undo the 10mm bolt and unclip the coil. Next pull out the coil.

Insert the socket, with extension into the spark plug hole.

Remove spark plug.

Check the gap on new spark plug, it should match stock.

tighten to approximately 25ft.lbs. (check spark-plug packaging for exact torque requirements).

repeat this process with all other sparks.

be sure that no dirt gets into the spark plug holes.

Center air vents

cant think why going at a higher rpm could change the vent setting but at a higher rpm the a/c will get to a lower temp so perhaps the vent setting knob is at fault and the vents are set to floor and not the panel. i'd investigate the vent knob operation as a first step let me know how it goes

1997 dodge ram 1500 overheats repaced hoses thermostat heater working fine

This sounds like a typical Ram radiator problem. Im willing to bet it does'nt overheat quick. It does it slowly. Even while at highway speeds. If so change the radiator.

2004 overheating at highway speeds

Check rad cap & check your rad hoses for one that may feel soft & collapsing & restricting flow under higher speeds. Sometimes you can see it **** in when you rev engine in park. Especially lower hose.

2002 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 3.9 engine overheating

Check your rad hoses. They will tend to collapse (**** in) & cut down on flow at highway speeds, more than city, due to increased demand & flow on cooling system. If they don't feel relatively stiff, I'd change them. You might even see them **** in while sitting and revving the engine a bit.
