Does anybody know? I know quiet a bit about cars but have never ran in to this! It's on the front top of the engine. The top radiator hose runs into it.
2003 dodge intrepid 2.7 how to change thermostat bleeder valve housing?
I believe you're talking about the same housing were the thermostat sits in , those aren't hard to replace , just un-clamp the hose going to it , unbolt the housing , then clean the surface on the engine that the housing connects to , clean the housing and make sure that both surfaces are fully dry ,clean the housing were the house clamps onto it , replace the clamp with a new hose clamp when reattaching the hose ,then use a silicone high temperature gasket maker , follow its instructions , make you you tighten up the two bolts enough to force the gasket silicone out some around the edges.
Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way you might be able to find that part at a big U pick auto wreckers for quite cheap like 10 to 20 bucks or so and I'am sure that several different models and years of Dodges use the exact same part.
2003 dodge intrepid 2.7 how to change thermostat bleeder valve housing?
I take it yours is leaking around the bleeder.it is quite common. at one time you could remove the 4 mounting bolts on top and 2 screws in the front and pull it out the transfer tube.the new ones have a long tube and the upper intake manifold has to come off to change it.

How do I change this thermostat?
My house has separate furnace and air conditioning systems. The second floor thermostat is the older kind that you have to set to either %26quot;Heat%26quot; or %26quot;Cool%26quot; plus dial it to the desired temperature.
I would like to replace this with thermostat where I just set the temperature -- and the heat or A/C comes on automatically as needed.
Is that a simple wire-for-wire swap that I can do myself? Thanks.
How do I change this thermostat?
1. Get a t-stat that is designed for conventional heating. and one that operates on batteries so you don't get confused with having to connect a common wire.
2. On the new t-stat. Rh will be used for the red wire coming from the furnace. and W - for whatever color is used for W on the old t-stat.
3. Rc will be used for the whatever is used for R - on the old a/c t-stat. Connnect whatever color that goes to G on the old a/c t-stat to G on the new t-stat. and the same for Y.
If there is a jumper wire installed between Rc and Rh from the factory - you will need to remove it.
How do I change this thermostat?
There are the computer controlled thermostats available they run around $45 and up and use a battery. they aren't hard to install just hook up the wires and the hard part is the set-up.
every one I have seen is either or switch has three positions heat on top cool or a/c on bottom center position off
The old on-off thermostats will not work for what you have planned. They run off of two conductor cable (red %26amp; white) You will need a newer dual action thermostat and seven conductor thermostat wire. You may already have seven conductor wire if you have more than one thermostat and the house has been divided into zones.

Information about Thermostat changes for incubating Duck eggs?
i have had a lot of experience in hatching indian runner duck eggs i have hatched 26 of them. i have always done it in a homemade incubator but recently bought a thermostat plus, i have noticed it go down to 90 degrees F in 10 Min's before it heats up again. Does anyone know if this will kill them????
thanks
Information about Thermostat changes for incubating Duck eggs?
Running temps too high is more dangerous than going a little low for a small time. At 90 degrees F more than likely they just stopped developing during that time if the eggs had time to cool to that temp. Just bump it back up and they should be fine.
I listed the below website as it is a very good place to find info on incubating and keeping birds in general. Don't be afraid by it being a chicken site as a great deal of users have ducks, pea fowl, quail, pheasants, and some other types of fowl. I learned a great deal from these kind folks.
If the thermostat is fluctuating temperatures wildly it is defective and should be replaced as it will decrease hatch rates.

i would say yes it would kill them. take it back to the manurfactorer

Is changing the thermostat for the heater/air conditioner a do-it-myself project?
I have done simple wiring around the house - replacing switches or outlets, replacing light fixtures. I'm confident that I can connect wires so that they will stay connected and I can do so without electrocuting myself, but I'm wondering if the thermostat is more complicated than the projects I've taken on so far? Hubby is an engineer, and can handle the technical stuff, but he's away from home, and I need to either fix it or schedule someone to come fix it ASAP. Summer in Texas is no time for the AC to be out.
So should I get out the pliers and electrical tape or the yellow pages?
(I'd like to put a programmable thermostat in if possible. I don't know if that will add to the complexity or not.)
Is changing the thermostat for the heater/air conditioner a do-it-myself project?
This is a simple process. In order to make sure that your new stat will work properly, label each wire as you remove it from the old one. Make sure that each wire goes on the same terminal on the new stat that it came from on the old one. If necessary, attach the stat to the wall with screws and plastic anchors. Be sure it's level. Set the program and you are good to go. Hope this helps.
Is changing the thermostat for the heater/air conditioner a do-it-myself project?
You MIGHT be able to get through it. Problem is that no two sets of wiring identification systems for thermostats are the same AND no assurance that the guy that put it in followed any identification rules but his own. IF you can identify which wire is which your can probably get through it. But you must be very methodical and painstaking to identify what goes to where.
yep. should be pretty simple. If not, stuff like that usually comes with instructions. Just make sure to turn the breaker switch off.
After doing what you have already, the thermostat, is a piece of cake.
Just follow the instructions that come with the unit. Just make sure, you get the same or similar type, that will work with your A/C heater.
I bought a programmable one, but with my schedule, I wasn't sure what to set it at. You need to set it for every day of the week, which is okay, if you have a strict schedule.
For me, I just turn it on and off, when needed. It's even easier to do that, with a remote control. that comes with some Thermostats,
Programming can be a big pain in the butt. Think of setting up your VCR, and you get the idea.
Don't worry! It's SO easy. If you are comfortable replacing switches, you've got it made. Just go buy the programmable thermostat of your choice and follow the instructions. It's one of the first things I do when I get a new apt or house. It can help save a lot of money.
Its no more difficult than changing a light switch.The wiring diagram comes with the new thermostat.However programing one sometimes is another story :)

Is it protocal to change out thermostat when adding freon?
1999 Dodge Intrepid: My mechanic replaced thermostat when all I wanted was freon. Car has been overheating ever since. He says it is protocal to change out the thermostat when freon is added. I never had any problems with overheating before. I have had it back to him twice and another mechanic once since, and they cannot find a problem with cooling system. So now he's checking the heads. By the way, the thermostat and coolant was replaced again since it was changed out. And, if it were a cracked or warped head, wouldn't it stay overheated and not go back down once turned off? It takes some driving around town or stop and go traffic, uphills, etc. before it starts to get hot. I was told here that I should look for bubbles in the reservoir and that would tell me if I have a problem with heads. I saw no bubbles. Thank you in advance for any help I can get--My mechanic is looking at it again today!!!
Is it protocal to change out thermostat when adding freon?
you are getting ripped off. find another mechanic. my Chrysler Concorde started overheating when i added freon to the system . i replaced my thermostat twice and that didn't help. come to find out the electric fans didn't come on when my AC was turned on , have them check your fans to make sure they operate properly or you may have to replace them . you can get some high volume fans at the parts store that will help you better than the stock ones. you are not the only one with this overheating problem , many intrepid and Concorde have this problem which they failed to fix at the factory
Is it protocal to change out thermostat when adding freon?
You don't change the thermostat when adding freon. Totally different systems. There are many reasons for over heating. Hopfully your mechanic knows what he's doing and covers all the bases before condeming your cylinder heads. Good luck
If that's the same mechanic that changed your thermostat when he added freon you definitely need to get a new mechanic cause he don't have a clue or hes ripping you off.Some things that could cause overheating are a bad water pump or belt that runs the pump,a blocked up radiator from road debris or it needs flushed out or it could have a blown head gasket or a cracked head.database handling exceptions

What causes a thermostat of an electric water heater to have to be reset?
It seems like every 24 hours or if all the hot water has been used up the thermostat in the water heater needs to be reset. Does anyone have any suggestions. I recently changed the thermostats, heating elements and breaker in the power box. What else can cause this to happen?
What causes a thermostat of an electric water heater to have to be reset?
The element is about to completely go out.
Could be just the thermostat, but if the element is pulling more than 22 amps, I replace them to stop a second callout a few weeks later.
EDIT: Just read the rest of your question.
The two times I had that, it was a pinched wire going to the lower thermostat.
Found both after callbacks by pulling on the wires.
On one of the heaters, the wire pulled in two at the spot it was getting hot. It was just about to burn completely in two.
Do this check with the power off btw.
What causes a thermostat of an electric water heater to have to be reset?
if it has two adjustable thermostats then make sure the over heat one is set higher, say 60 for the operating one and about 70 for the overheat
defective lower t-stat. I have had that problem multiple times.

Changing A Thermostat on a Dodge Dakota 1995?
1.
So I had a leak in my radiator. I put some additive in it to fix it. It mostly fixed the leakage, but it screwed up the thermostat.
Whenever I drive my truck the temperature goes up steadily. It gets to red, and stays there for about 30 seconds then it drops to cold. Then it goes up again and then down. It does this about three times before it evens out and stays in the middle where it is supposed to be.
Do I need a new thermostat? Because I think I do.
2.
If I do how hard is it to install it? Like I'm pretty much a mechanical dummy. I bought a Chilton Repair Manuel, and it looks simple enough but idk because I've never done it.
3.
Where do I buy one and what kind should I get?
Changing A Thermostat on a Dodge Dakota 1995?
1. You might need a thermostat, or you may also have a large air bubble in the cooling system that heats up, turns to steam, then cools again when it hits cold coolant. I would bleed the system before I replaced the thermostat. If it still does it afterwards, then replace it. Also, if the leak is only mostly fixed you need to fix the leak the correct way first, not a cheap bottle of stop leak as that is only a temporary fix.
2. It is easy to install. Find upper radiator hose and where it goes in intake manifold. Remove the two/three bolts and pop off the housing. Remove the thermostat and replace it. Screw the few bolts back in and torque with new gasket in place. Refill the cooling system and bleed properly to avoid teh air buble described in above.
3. You buy a thermostat at any parts stores, Autozone, Napa, Car-quest, ADvance, Oreillys, etc. The kind you should get is the one that fits your truck.
If you dont feel you are qualified or have the tools dont attempt it as you may do more damage. Most shops will replace a thermostat for very cheap.
Changing A Thermostat on a Dodge Dakota 1995?
Go to your nearest parts store and they will have the one u need for your certain truck. But it might be the ho2 sensor. So the best thang to do would be have a problem shooting diagnosis ran on it. But if your determined to change out the thermostat, go to the top of the radiator and find big hose that leads into your engine. Undo the hose (yes, fluid will spill out) and take off the thermostat housing(its a domeshaped thing with two bolts on the sides) take off that housing, pull out the thermostat, and replace it with the new one, then work backwards till everything is back together.
it could be your thermostat but it could also be your temperture sending unit. if you never changed one before it could take you a couple of hours. any parts store unless you want to pay awhole lot extra then you go to the dealer.
