Do I replace the thermostat? - 5/7/2007 4:26:26 PM    davedwards   Posts: 1 Joined: 4/15/2007 Status: offline 1999 intrepid with 2.7 V6. Engine is running fine, no signs of overheating, but when my daughter drives it to school, in 15 minutes of highway speeds, it still is blowing cold air even with the heater set at the highest setting. Could this be the thermostat and if so, how difficult is it to replace? Thanks Post #: 1

If it the lower then it will take some time to replace. _____________________________ Master Chassis tech, Transmission Automatic and Manual and Suspensions.

PS it can also be your climat control sensor, which control head do you have?  At the top of the second gen fourm, there is a link called the holy grail.  It is a tech manual, use it to find the self test procedure.
