SOURCE: i have a 1997 dodge van i need a radiator,how much

depending on what part of the country you live in 100-290 for the radiator. check out ebay, they have smokin deals on radiators and they usually ship free with like three day delivery cause the local radiator chain nearest you will pickup the order. labor for that vehicle properly quoted should be 1.8- 2.4 hrs to replace. whatever the shop rate hourly.

Water pump impeller could be bad or thermostat is stuck shut. I would change thermostat first,easy to change, cost under $10.00 Water pump is hard to change in this van, you have to remove right tire, then inside wheel well, then loosen 3 top motor mount bolts which will lower engine so you can get to water pump and tensioner.

1997 Dodge Ram van. What relays are on the firewall please?

On a 1997 Dodge Ram Van, the relays that are located on the firewall are likely to include:
  • Fuel pump relay
  • Headlight relay
  • Horn relay
  • AC compressor relay
  • Engine control relay
  • Automatic shut down relay (ASD)
These relays are responsible for controlling various electrical components on the van, such as the fuel pump, headlight, horn, and AC compressor. The specific location of these relays on the firewall may vary depending on the model and trim of the van.
If you are having an issue with one of the relays on the firewall of your 1997 Dodge Ram Van, it is recommended to consult the service manual or a mechanic to determine which relay is causing the problem and how to fix it.
