    Replacing Thermostat

    So my truck is starting to run hotter and hotter than usual (never ran hot up to red line) so I looked up how to replace the thermostat but I need a little assistance. Will I need to drain the whole radiator? What are all requirements to changing the thermostat?

    Heating problems

    I recently replaced my thermostat in my 2003 dodge. After replacing it temp gauge goes from cold to overheat, where the check gauges light comes on. Then it goes back to the cool side. It does this two time before it starts to heat up inside. Any ideas?
