Where is the EGR Position sensor located on a 1994 mark VIII?
usually mounted to the intake manifold. It is an aluminum box with 2 hoses going to it. Be very careful not to destroy these hoses as they are extremely expensive!
How do you change the thermostat in a 1999 Dodge Durango?
These are instructions for a V8 Durango. You first remove the thermostat housing. Follow the upper radiator hose to where it heads into the engine vertically. This job is much easier if you remove the alternator and the upper alternator support bracket first. Squeeze the spring clamp on the radiator hose and pull the hose off. If you can't remove it, you may have to cut the rubber and shorten or replace the hose later. The metal part the hose connected to is the housing. Remove the two bolts and pull it out. The thermostat will either be stuck inside here or still resting on top of the engine. Pay attention to which way it is facing when you remove it because it must be reinstalled facing the proper direction. Replace everything in the same order it was removed.
Where is the air filter on a 1999 Dodge Caravan and how do you replace it?
If it the same as the 1998 model, there should be a black plastic box on the right side of the engine compartment that says "remove to service air filter element below", the filter is NOT in this box, it is in another plastic box below this one. You must remove the two screws on the box you see, romove the two hoses connected to it, one you just pull off, the other you must remove a clamp to remove. After you do this you can see the box containing the filter it is set vertically and has two metal clips keeping it closed, just reomve the clips, and change the filter, dont forget to replace both hoses and both screws.

How do you change a thermostat in a 2002 durango?
The thermostat for the 4.7L v8 is located at the end of the BOTTOM hose coming off of the engine and can be a real bear to get to the top bolt. Also to make the job more pleasant you have to drain the entire radiator. I did this and I'm not Einiesteiny but make sure you spray up the bolts before you try to turn them if you break off the top bolt the only way to get to it is to take off the dual row radiator. In a nut shell they don't want you to fix it by yourself but with a little patience it's doable.

Ow do you open a stuck lift gate on a 1998 dodge durango?
I had this happen because my kid slammed a nylon belt in the latch - my fix was to go to a local junk yard and get the plastic trim from a totaled durango that matched mine (about $40) I then cut the plastic from the inside, so that I could get to the latch assembly, and pried it open with a screw driver. (the handle just did not have the umph to open it because of the jam) the same may work for you.
You cant figure out why your reverse lights don't work on your 97 jeep Cherokee sport?
Your reverse lights are controlled by the neutral start switch. This switch is on the transmission and prevents you from engaging the starter when the vehicle is in any gear. It allows the starter to engage in Park and Neutral only. It also turns the backing lights on when you put the vehicle in reverse.
It is fairly user serviceable but if you are not an experienced mechanic you may want to leave it to the professionals. The switch itself could be expensive depending on where you buy it. You may also want to rebuild your existing switch - not complex - there is a link to how to do this in an answer to a similar question.
AnswerCheck the fuses of course.It is on the same circuit as the brake lights, but if they are not working, and the bulbs are good your switch needs cleaning or adjustment.
Attempt this first since the switch costs nearly $300 bucks.
On the passengers side of the trans just behind the bell housing there is a fan shaped switch, loosen the 12mm bolt ( smaller of the two, and rotate the switch while a friend checks the lights. this problem is usually accompanied by an occasional inability to start the vehicle, but can be cured by jiggling the shifter.
While adjusting the switch make sure that the vehicle will start in park as well, remember to block the wheels while testing the back up lights, engine off, key in run but not start, shifter in reverse, move switch until lights come on.
Once you find this spot, hold it in place and have your helper check to make sure it will start. This may take several tries to get both working correctly.
If you have no luck the switch may be dirty, this happens a lot. Hold the post to the bottom large bolt still while you loosen the nut, then remove it, then remove the 12mm adjusting bolt on top, remove the wire connector and pull the switch away, remove the bolts on the switch and separate the halves, use electrical contact cleaner and maybe some q-tips to clean all the copper connections completely apply di-electric grease and reassemble, refit to the trans and readjust so all functions work, this switch controls back up and start safety.
Caution! always hold that bottom bolt while tightening the large nut, this is connected to the gear adjuster and you could damage the internals if it isn't secured while you do it.

What size wrench do you need to change the front brakes on a 2001 Dodge Durango?
What size wrench do you need to change the front brakes on a 2001 dodge durango?"
It is in the headlight switch. There is a small piece of metal shaped like a hurricane weather symbol on the back of the switch, inside the switch assembly. The metal completes the circuit when you pull out the switch. The problem is, it is just glued to the back of the switch. You can disassemble the switch, and use a VERY small screw to attach the metal piece to the back of the switch. It is tedious work, takes about a half hour, and some dash disassembly, but it will cost less than a buck for the tiny screw. Or pay the $60 for the new switch assembly. You still have to take the dash apart, so try to fix the switch first. I did this over a year ago and it works great. I tried super glue first and it lasted 2 days. You need the screw!
Why would dash lights flash when turning on left signal indicator?
You may have a "ground loop" problem on the left turn signal. Check the ground wire at the front and rear signal bulbs.
