How do I change a thermostat in my 1999 dodge dakota?

to change a thermostat first you need to drain the cooling system, then remove the upper radiator hose. On the spot where it was connected to the engine you will see 2 or 3 bolts holding a rounded fitting onto the engine. remove that fitting and your thermostat will be in there. pull out the old one and replace it. Remove the old gasket and replace it with a new one. (use silicone if you desire, but not too much). Then put the hose back on, fill the radiator, start it up and check for leaks. Heres a link to a page with some pics of different thermostat housings that might help you.
