i need a full picture view for the removal and instillation for a radiator for a 1989 Ford e150 van 5.0 engine
Follow the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the engine. The thermostat is located within the housing where the radiator hose connects tot he engine. Drain radiator, remove hose from thermostat housing, remove the bolts that fasten the housing to the engine and pull off housing, pull out thermostat noticing the direction it is pointing. Installation is reverse of removal (making sure thermostat is facing in the right direction). Refill radiator with 50/50 water/antifreeze solution.
Follow the top radiator hose to the engine, what that mounts to is the thermostat housing, remove this and there is your thermostat. * ** *** **** ***** Actually, on my 1997 SL2, the thermostat is on the bottom radiator hose. I would check the "Saturn Thermostat Pictures" link below, which also has installation and removal instructions.
Drain radiator. Follow the upper radiator hose to the engine. The end of the radiator hose connects to the thermostat housing. Remove housing and pull out thermostat - be sure and note which direction the thermostat points. Installation is reverse of removal - making sure thermostat is pointing in the same direction as the old one.
Radiator Removal & Installation All gasoline-engine equipped trucks use a cross-flow radiator. In this type, the coolant flows horizontally from a radiator inlet tank to a radiator outlet tank. # Remove the retaining clips for the radiator support brace trim cover and remove the trim panel from the vehicle. # Remove the fan shroud-to-radiator retaining bolts. # Place the special fan removal tools over the water pump pulley bolts and onto the fan clutch hub and loosen the fan clutch assembly. # Remove the fan clutch from the water pump and remove the fan clutch and the shroud assembly from the vehicle. # Slide the hose clamp back and remove the upper and lower hoses from the radiator. # Remove the recovery tank hose from the radiator. # Using a back-up wrench to support the radiator fitting, loosen the transmission cooler lines from the radiator and plug the lines to prevent contamination from entering the transmission. # The radiator is retained by two upper support mounts. # Remove the radiator upper support mounts bolts and remove the support mount brackets from the radiator. # Remove the radiator by lifting it straight out of the engine compartment The installation is the reverse of the removal.

Drain radiator. Trace your lower radiator hose back to where it mounts to engine. Inside that housing is the thermostat. Remove lower radiator hose. Unbolt the housing (you'll need to pry it off because off the sealant used in installation) and pull out the thermostat. Note orientation of themostat inside housing. Clean off all traces of old gasket material. Make new gasket with RTV gasket goop, using a thin bead. Installation is reverse of removal.
Should be located at the engine end of the upper radiator hose in removable housing
The spring faces the engine block ( and the vent hole goes to the top )
The starter is mounted on the drivers side of the engine. Jack your car up and secure it then look at the bottom of the engine from the drivers side. There is removal and installation instructions on Autozone's website
