The hard line has to be disconnected.I believe there might be a bolt holding it down.Just hope the water pump isnt leakin.It does and looks like the stat is leaking.Pump is a major job.One of Chryslers netter ideas.Rocky

The temp is going crazy on this car. I have lost heat inside the vehicle it works for a moment and then stops. It overheated on Saturday assumed it must the the thermostat.
Any ideas what else it could be?

it maby just air but i have done stats on those for the same issue. usually just air if temp in vehicle comes and goes. most of the ones i have done stats on have temp gauge running 3/4 gauge instead of half and sometimes flucuating. sounds funny but that's what i have been seeing.

so what do you need to do to fix that problem?
Thanks,

i would replace the stat if it has a bunch of mile say over 60000 and bleed the system completly. warning that stat is not very easy!!

i don't have one to look at right now but i have never taken the alt off just the stat housing. i know that it is tight especially doing it on the ground. i think that the trans cooler lines might be in the road though unclip them and move them back.

If you do need to replace the water pump then you'll also want to replace the timing belt, belt tensioner and pulley, while you are in there
I don't own a 2.7, but I think they use a timing chain.
water pumps suck on these also chain is not very fun to deal with

I took the car to the dealer and they recommended I have the coolant outlet pipe replaced.. any ideas?
Thanks,
Craig
never replaced that pipe. maby it is leaking causing air to get into the syetem. have replaced the bleeder housing on the top front of engine cause leaking and it has a pipe on it that runs under the intake if i remember correctly. been a while since i have been into one.
