Where is the thermostat located on a 1992 GMC Sierra 5.0L?
The thermostat is located under the thermostat housing which is connected to the engine side of the upper radiator hose, and bolts to the intake manifold with 2 bolts. To replace, drain and properly dispose of coolant, remove upper radiator hose, and remove thermostat housing. The thermostat sits in a recess between housing and manifold. Replace with correct thermostat with the correct side facing engine, new gasket and a little sealant.

Where is the thermostat located on the 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?
On the 3.1 LS model, the thermostat is in the intake manifold, just underneath the air intake, and between the exhaust crossover and the manifold. Trace the upper radiator hose back to a metal pipe from the engine, that is the thermostat housing. Replacing it means using a ratcheting box-end (10mm?) or open end wrench to start and finish, and fingertips for the rest, so NOT when the engine is hot! The thermostat fits horizontally into the manifold, and comes with its own molded gasket, which fits into a recess, and doesn't require gasket sealant. I just changed mine, so good luck.
