How do you change the rear wiper blade on a 2002 Dodge Durango?
The 2002 Dodge Durango has the most common hook-end wiper arms on front and rear. See the Sources and Related Links section below for installation videos. Also, purchase the replacement blades first and there will be additional instructions/illustrations on the replacement packages. Locate and press the tab or button where the wiper blade is inserted into the hook of the wiper arm and pull wiper blade out of hook. You may have to rotate and flex the blade to make enough clearance for the hook to pass through.
Under the steering column directly under the ignition switch there should be a small round screwdriver sized hole. Turn the key to the on or run position. Find a small pointed object to reach in the hole with. You will push in on a small button while you you pull out on the key switch. To install the new one simply line the new one up in the same position and push it back in place until it clicks. Turn it off and back on to make sure it moves freely and you are done. Now from your question I assume you are talking about the piece of the ingnition switch where the key is inserted. The actual electrical part of the ignition switch is located on the top of the steering column assembly and you have to take the column loose from the dash to replace it. If you have any more questions feel free to ask me at fordfinds@yahoo.com. I'm not 100% sure that every column has a hole in the plastic to punch the button. I don't think I've had one that didn't but I've changed several while I had the plastic cover off of the column to replace the gear shift boot as well. So if it has no hole you will of course have to remove the plastic cover.

What diameter should an exhaust extension pipe be for a 93 Ford Ranger 2.3 liter?
Make sure you know what plug wire goes where on your distributor or coil pack to plug.
Pull plug wires. Use spark plug scocket to remove all 4 plugs. Don't know what plugs it calls for but use the right plugs. Plugs must be gapped. The gap should be on sticker under hood. re: .44 or.52.
Replace plugs by hand. Do not cross thread. Tighten. If you don't have the torque spec, the hardest you can tighten the plugs with the wrench only using 2 fingers should be good. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. You can break one.
Replace wires.
If you have a distributor, you may want to check for cap and rotor.
AnswerI would only add that you do one plug and plug wire at a time, instead of pulling all wires at once. This way you will not lose track of what wire goes where. AnswerThe 93 ford ranger 4cyl has 8 spark plugs, 2 per cylinder. The are spark plugs that are under/blocked by intake manifold components, which have to be removed to gain access to the plugs. Removal can also be attemped using several special tools, a mixture of swivel sockets, long extensions, etc(it easier to remove the intake manifold components). Make sure that you replace all 8 spark plugs and wires(8)at the same time. Use the correct plugs. Ford recommend that you do this every 30,000 miles. New Answer - Posted by Steven In NCThis is a little time consuming. Print this out. Decide if you have patience enough to do the job, or pay Precision Tune $398 to do the job.As stated above the Ranger 2.3L has 8 plugs, 2 per cylinder. First, buy good platinum plugs so you won't have to revisit this in another 30K miles...but rather 60-80K. Also, buy top quality spark plug wires and do them at the same time. Here is how to proceed.
Tools you will need. (2) 6inch extensions for your 3/8ths inch socket wrench.
(1) 3inch extension for your 3/8ths inch socket wrench.
(1) Swivle Socket extension for your 3/8ths inch socket wrench.
(1) Small flat head screw driver.
(1) Large flat head screw driver for the intake tube clamp on the throttle body.
(1) 1/2inch socket for exhaust manifold studs.
(1) Spark plug socket with rubber insert to hold plugs in place while inserting & removing.
Some liquid wrench or WD-40.
Some Anti-seize for your spark plugs.
Some Dielectric grease.
Magnetic Pickup Tool may be needed.
Needlenose Pliers
Preparation Steps: Prep Step A - Unhook the round air intake where the air filter is located on the passanger side of the vehicle.
Prep Step B - Loosen the clamp that holds the air tube to the throttle body intake and pull the tube off.
Prep Step C - Remove the tube from the top of the engine that circulates the crankcase air back through the intake tube. It's located right behind the oil filler cap.
Prep Step D - Move the entire air intake tube towards the front of the vehicle and lay it on the radiator/fan area.
Your now ready to start.
Start with the passanger side of the engine. It is relatively clutter free. Start with the 1st cylinder at the front of the engine.
1. Twist & remove the spark plug boot from the existing plug.
2. Use a very small flat edged screwdriver to pry open the clips that hold the plug wires together. Note the entire clip is easy to slide off of the little round mounting grommet attached to the engine...then you can hold it in some good light to get a better view of how to open it with the little flat edged screw driver.
3. Use a 6" extension & a 3" extension & your deep socket for the spark plug. I believe it is a 5/8ths...but can't remember for sure.
4. Remove the first plug, yes it will be tight against the 2nd coil pack, but it does remove without taking the coil pack off.
5. Replace the old plug with a new Bosch Platinum Plus 2 prong plug and use some anti-seize on the threads and tighten to the appropriate torque. For me, that's tight but not too tight.
6. Remove the old plug wire from the coil pack. It will be going to the 2nd coil pack (located to the rear of the first coil pack).
7. Install your new plug wire on the coil pack & coat the inside with some dielectric grease if you have some or if the plug wire set comes with some.
8. Repeat steps 1-7 for plugs on 2 & 3.
9. Plug #4 - the last plug on the passanger side. Remove the two (2) 1/2inch bolts that holds a bracket to the exhaust manifold. Make sure you spray the studs these bolts are on with some DW-40 or liquid wrench. Exhaust manifold studs are notorious for having a lot of rust & being difficult to turn nuts off without shearing off the stud & banging up your knuckles at the same time. It has some sort of aluminum box ontop of this bracket with some sensor wires coming out of it. Slip the bracket off and simply lay it to the rear of the engine to provide better access to this last cylinder.
10. Repeat steps 1-7 for plug #4.
11. Remount bracket containing the aluminum box with sensor wires. Tighten the two 1/2 inch nuts back down.
You have now completed the passanger side of the vehicle. It's should only have taken you about 45 minutes if you were working slow.
Now it's time to do the hard side. The drivers side of the engine appears to be literally encased in fuel injection wiring, and the intake manifold. Slow down, take a break, breath deep. You will NOT have to remove the intake manifold to accomplish this.
Step 12 - You will notice on the first cylinder at the front of the engine the spark plug wire has a grey handle sticking up next to the A/C compressor. Using some pliers (needle nose worked for me) twist & pull this grey handle. The spark plug boot should pop free.
Step 13 - Using your small flat edged screw driver, unhook the spark plug wire clips that hold the wires together. There are 3 - One just after the 1st coil pack located at the front of the engine, another just on the other side of the valve cover and a small 2 clip located about 1/2 way back on the valve cover under the intake manifold. Remember you can slip these clips off of their round mounting points to make access easier to un-hook the clips.
Step 14 - Remove the spark plug wire from Cylinder #1 on the Drivers side.
Step 15 - Using the small flat edged screw driver press the 4 connection points on the grey handle that is attached to the wire. It will separate down the middle and allow you to remove the wire.
Step 16 - Replace the wire with the new wire - ensure you line up the rubber round plugs with the round holes in this grey handle & snap it back together with the new wire in place.
Step 17 - Hold the spark plug socket in your left hand down near the plug. Now feed a 6" inch extension below the A/C Compressor line (black pipe) and the A/C Compressor with your right hand and attach the spark plug socket into the extension. (It will not fit if you try to slide the socket between the Compressor and the black A/C compressor line.)
Step 18 - Slip the socket onto the plug. Attach an additional 3 or 6 inch extension to the existing extension & attach your socket wrench.
Step 19 - Remove the plug & proceed to replace it with a Bosch Platinum plug & anti-seize on the threads.
Step 20 - Feed your new Spark Plug wire over to the 1st coil pack & replace it on the coil pack.
Step 21 - Take a break. Get some water.
Step 22 - Move on to the second spark plug. There is no grey handle on the second spark plug boot. You will be able to reach it & twist the boot and remove it. Replace the wire as you have done previously on the first coil pack.
Step 23 - To remove the second spark plug use your spark plug socket and a 3inch extension. Slide the extension & socket onto the plug. Next get a swivel socket adapter for your 3/8ths inch and attach it to a 6 inch extension. Now connect the 6inch extension & the swivel socket adapter to the 3inch extension. You will now find that it does not bind very much and you will be able to loosen the #2 spark plug.
Step 24 - Repeat Step 19.
Step 25 - Attach the spark plug wire to the plug.
Step 26 - Another break & more water.
Step 27 - Look between the intake manifold tubes & you will see another grey handle for spark plug number 3. Using needle nose pliers reach in between the intake manifold tubes and twist & pull the spark plug boot off.
Step 28 - Un-hook the spark plug wire from the 1st coil pack. Now is a good time to check and make sure you got that 3rd wire clip un-hooked so the spark plug wire will move easily. Now pull the plug wire out between / through the intake manifold tubes until it is free from the engine. Careful, go slow feed with your left hand while pulling slowly with your right hand.
Step 29 - Repeat steps 15 & 16 with this plug wire.
Step 30 - Using a 6 inch extension & another 6 inch extension hooked together, put your spark plug socket on and slide it between the intake manifold tubes and onto the spark plug. Remove the spark plug. If it drops out of your socket, use a magnetic pickup tool (telescoping rod with a magnet on the end) and retrieve your plug from the top of the intake manifold.
Step 31 - Repeat Step 19.
Step 32 - Feed your new spark plug wire through the intake manifold tubes like you removed it. With the coil pack end first and reach behind the intake manifold (yes it's tight but you will be able to feel it) and slowly pull it towards the front of the engine while feeding the plug wire with your other hand.
Step 33 - Using the grey handle and a flashlight, line up and push the plug wire onto the spark plug using your pliers again.
Step 34 - Repeat step 26.
Step 35 - Move to the last plug...your almost there..hang in there! Look between the last 2 intake manifold tubes & you will see another grey handle for spark plug number 4. Using needle nose pliers reach in between the intake manifold tubes and twist & pull the spark plug boot off.
Step 36 - Un-hook the spark plug wire from the 1st coil pack. Now pull the plug wire out between / through the intake manifold tubes until it is free from the engine. Careful, go slow feed with your left hand while pulling slowly with your right hand until the wire is free.
Step 37 - Repeat steps 15 & 16 with this plug wire.
Step 38 - Develop X-ray vision & using the flashlight look and see the very tip top of the spark plug. Line up your two 6inch extensions with your spark plug socket on the end and slip it over this last spark plug.
Step 39 - Going slow, remove the last plug. If it drops out once again use your magnetic pickup tool to retrieve it.
Step 40 - Repeat Step 26.
Step 41 - Proceed to replace it with a Bosch Platinum plug & anti-seize on the threads. This is where your X-ray vision is going to be helpful. This last hole is rather hard to see when you have your spark plug socket in place and are attempting to locate the hole. Remember the hole will be further towards the back of the block than the middle. You will eventually find it and without cross threading the plug it will fit and you can tighten it up.
Step 42 - Feed the spark plug wire once again through / between the intake manifold tubes with the coil end first. You will then use your X-ray vision & needle nose pliers to grip the grey handle and re-insert it over the plug.
Step 43 - Finally you connect this last wire to the 1st coil pack and make sure that the clips on all the plug wires are closed with the wires neatly arranged in them.
Step 44 - Make sure each of the spark plug wires are attached to the coil packs and the two clips on each side of the coil packs are snapped beneath the coil pack connection points.
Step 45 - Slap yourself on the back...your done! Go out to dinner to celebrate the money you just saved!
I don' know who is posting this rediculous answer to this plug question, but I worked on dozens of these 8 plug engines, never took more than 30 minutes to change them out, very few intake parts need to be removed, you do need good assortment of hand tools like snap-on, flex head rachet, ball socket extensions and a spark plug socket with a u joint.

How do you check Brake Fluid Levels in a 2001 Dodge Durango?
The brake fluid reservoir is located under the hood on the passenger side toward the firewall. it should be white with a black cap that may say "brake". Unscrew this cap and look inside the reservoir for your fluid level, then check the side of the reservoir for fluid level markings. If your fluid level lines up with the mark that says "Full" - You are good to go. If not, and you are low, you will need to add DOT3 approved brake fluid until the level in the reservoir matches the full mark on the side of the reservoir.
One thing you may notice on the reservoir cap (underneath) is a rubber grommet "cup" which may be in the extended position...coming out of the cap. Gently push this back into the cap and screw back on to the reservoir.
Since your question indicates you may be a novice at this I want to add the brake fluid will (eventually) remove/damage your paint, so it is important to clean up any spills with soap and water as soon as possible.

How do you adjust the headlight on a 2000 Dodge Durango?
Open your hood, pull up to a garage door (or anything that will give you a flat continuous surface to see the beam)
One the sides of the lamp cover there are little screws, if you look at the ends of them you will see they really do not hold anything in, these are the screws you need to adjust. You will need an Allen wrench to adjust the screws. Turn these in or out until you get the aim to where you want it to be (look at the surface to see the aim of the beam)
How do you replace a water pump on a 1998 Saturn?
Remove the Serpentine belt. Pull the bolts that hold the water pump in place (5 or 6, something like that). Then the water pump should pull out of the block. It may be held in place with some gasket sealer, so once you have the bolts out you can pull hard on the pump. Remove the pulley by turning the 3 bolts. Put it all back together in reverse order. You may need to remove a couple parts to get to the pump.

Miles between Durango CO and Colorado Springs CO?
In a straight line, or as a Crow Flies the distance may be shorter, but birds and road builders do not work in harmony. The best route in terms of speed and comfort requires a prudent driver to head for Walsenburg and then head North on Interstate 25. A total of about 315 miles will have to be covered and the driving time will be about 6 hours. Other routes are interesting, but pack a lunch and expect a few minor delays, silly little things like avalanches, snow falls, rock slides, waash-outs and flooding do happen in the Rockies. Doubters should be required to read up on lore like Kit Carson experienced, the Donner (Dinner sounds a little offensive) party or the Alferd G. Packer saga. The mountains of Colorado should never be trifled with. Take them seriously because summer is on the Fourth of July, Fall is on the fifth, winter often begins on the sixth and spring delays itself until the third of July.
