Contrary to every other car and truck that I have worked on, the 2004 Dodge Durango has its thermostat located on the bottom radiator hose. A close inspection of the bottom hose where it connects to the engine will show you the thermostat housing.
Dodge doesn't have a 4.6L
show pic's of replacing thermostat on dodge durango
Usually in a housing located at the engine end of the upper radiator hose I have an 01 Durango with a 4.7 and the thermostat is in the lower radiator hose at the engine end.
It is under the housing where the lower radiator hose hooks to the engine.
3.7, 4.7 At lower hose attachment. 5.2l 5.9l upper hose attachment.
Probably in a removable housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose
4.7L it is where the lower hose hooks to the engine. 5.2L, and 5.9L it is where the upper hose hooks to the engine.
under the front passenger seat/ right under the glove compartment
It would, but it is not a good idea.
If the thermostat has failed it will need replaced.
If you question the condition of the thermostat, just replace it, they're cheap enough.
