I have a 2000 Durango with a leaking heater core. I bypassed it because 1. It leaks coolant into the inside of the passenger compartment and fogs the heck out of the windows! And 2. You have to remove the entire dash to replace it. The core is only about $55, but the labor is a couple of days for a "good" DIY Mechanic. It's about $1,200 in labor to have a shop do it.
I'm in So. Cal. So it doesn't hurt too bad to be chilly in the morning.
Good luck!

Whenever you find that a heater core has been bypassed, you can bet it leaks. Being bypassed will not hurt the engine but definitely very uncomfortable in winter.

It was bypassed because the previous owner didn't want to change the leaking heater core, it is a big job.

Why does my darango shut off while driving?
If it's an exclamation point inside a triangle, it's called a master warning symbol. This is the Master Warning Light symbol. If this light is on, there will likely be text displayed as well on the instrument panel, or another warning light. Look for text in particular. It could very well point out something as serious as low oil pressure. If the engine is not running, you can't very well check your gauges, but you may have lost all oil pressure or overheated the engine. Recommend you consult a mechanic familiar with your model.

Why would the fan not come on
There is a temperature sensor that turns the fan on and off. Generally, it looks like a button battery and is close to the fan motor.

Where the thermostat is located on a 2000 dodge darango
If you look down on the radiator, on the left side, there is a larrge hose coming out of the radiator toward the engine. Where the hose ends there is a housing with 2 bolts. The Thermostat is found under that. Remove the 2 bolts an replace the thermostat. Unles your arms are very long and thin, you will probably need to do this from under the car.

Popping and grinding noise coming from the right front tire.
it depends if you have 2WD or 4WD, probably either your CV joints, or your wheel bearing, also have your upper and lower ball joints looked at, durangos are bad for those going out. 4WD could have additional problems, like transfer case, front axle bent, and other 4WD probs. i had a similar problem and it was my wheel bearing. buy it offline, not at the parts store, it saved me $140. compared to O'riely Auto Parts.
