Where is the thermostat on 2000 Dodge Caravan?
This is my first time on Wiki Answers, here goes. Though I don't have the exact location for the thermostat on your vehicle, you should be able to follow these general rules. (by the way, I am a Ford dealership mechanic, in the business for about forty years). Most car and truck thermostats are located at the engine end of the upper radiator hose. The hose fits over the water outlet and is held tight by a clamp. The water outlet is usually just big enough to contain the cold side of the thermostat, the rest of the thermostat is in the intake manifold on a "V" style engine and in the cylinder head on a straight engine, (like a four cylinder). The water outlet is usually bolted to the engine with two or three bolts. To change this part, do this: find the water outlet as I have mentioned. Drain the coolant so that the level is below the thermostat, or just drain all out. I can often use a siphon type pump and remove enough coolant from the recovery tank to do the job. Place a pan under the vehicle and below the thermostat. either remove the hose or unbolt the assembly. The housing may be stuck a bit so tap or pry, (carefully, it is possible to break this aluminum part), to unstick. A bit more coolant may come out. The thermostat should be visible now. Take it out and observe how it was situated. There is a hot side and a cold side. Clean the gasket area. Look for a recess that will fit the new part. This recess may be cut into the engine or the water outlet. Install the new thermostat with the heat sensing part toward the engine. Most of the time, it cannot be installed backwards as there is not enough room. When refilling the engine, removing one end of a heater hose will allow venting and the coolant will go into the engine faster. Do not fill completely yet, allow some room for coolant expansion as the engine warms up. There is almost always some air trapped at the top of the engine and that will have to be purged. This air will expand when warmed and push some coolant out, catch this stuff and put it back in later. Running the engine, revving, stopping and running again will all be a part of filling the engine. The engine is probably about full when you can feel good heat from the car's heater. I usually overfill the recovery tank a bit as any air left in the engine will burp out and be replaced by what is in the tank.

There is oil in your radiator in your 1993 dodge?
Then you either have a blown head gasket or a cracked head. Stop driving the car immediately an have it repaired. A rare possibility is that the transmission cooler inside the radiator is leaking fluid into the cooling system.
Is a 413 Dodge engine out of a 73 motorhome worth putting into a car for peformance?
Not really,,,the engine is not designed to be upgraded for performance and it will be sometimes difficult to get even stock parts for repairs.
The low performance 360 was not designed to be upgraded for performance either, but hot rodders still do it.
The 413 shares the family heritage with the 44o. If the 413 cylinder heads are the normal
automotive head and not the exclusive Motor Home head, the engine can be use for
a performance upgrade from a 318 small block mopar in its stock state. These motors have tremendous low end power but limited high end. They were made to move 12,000 lbs of weight down the street. Any aftermarket parts for the 440 will fit the 413 including the cam, performance heads, intake manifold, headers, carb, etc.

How do you make my 2000 Dodge Cummins 2500 blow out more black smoke?
This is a very strange request--most people want LESS smoke out of a diesel. If you wanted it to happen only once in a while, you could probably work out a way to inject oil into the exhaust, downstream of the turbocharger. If you wanted black smoke permanently, you'd have to bypass the turbo...but don't do that because (1) it's illegal to mess with emissions-control equipment (on a diesel, the turbo is one of the most important emissions control devices) and (2) your truck will run horribly, if you didn't break it outright.

Find out why it overheated. Normally it is a stuck thermostat, clogged radiator, low of coolant, air in system, defective water pump, broken or slipping belt, defective fan motor, blown fuse, or defective fan motor thermal relay. If you stopped immediately then no damage was done.

Why would your 2002 Dodge 1500 sport veers to the right?
When a vehicle veers to one side, it is an indication of the front end being out of alignment. Make sure your tires have the correct air pressure. Look at the tread pattern and make sure that the tread is wearing evenly. Uneven tread wear is another sign that the front end needs realignment.
I have the EXACT problem in my 90 daytona 3.0... I'm having a hard time figuring it out, but I'm almost CERTAIN that it's a sensor of some sort... perhaps the camshaft position sensor, but I can't seem to find where it is on the block. It's either that or the distributor isn't sending the correct timing signal to the ecu.
