There is no water valve.
pull the dash
the heater core is accessed from under the hood it is a nasty time consuming task. lift the hood and see the heater assembly against firewall. remove all that to get at the heater core
Drain the water from your Dodge Ram truck cooling system. Remove the water lines from the heater core. Remove the heater core retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new heater core.
Flat rate labor time is about 5 hours.
i have a 2000 dodge 2500, i replaced mine last year and it sucks, you first have to remove the WHOLE dash, then on the passenger side there is a black case where you remove the top half, then you start removing the guts until you find the heater core on the bottom, and that will get you started..... i have a 2000 dodge 2500, i replaced mine last year and it sucks, you first have to remove the WHOLE dash, then on the passenger side there is a black case where you remove the top half, then you start removing the guts until you find the heater core on the bottom, and that will get you started.....
On a truck it is under the dash in the HVAC housing. On a van it is in the HVAC unit under the hood.

I have looked up time to change heater core on 2000 dodge caravan it said 2 hours. I have never done this so I need to know where to start?
The heater core on a Dodge Dakota is inside the HVAC housing, under the dash.
There is no such thing as a 1997 dodge saturn! Try again.
