Is the thermostat housing where the upper hose meets block because it looks impossible to change without removing the throttle body and exhaust manifold on a 2004 Pontiac Montana?
The thermostat housing is dome shaped at the end of the radiator top hose on the block, and should be near the water pump which is on the front of the engine. Not looked at a Montana lay out so can't help further.. :)

How can you tell wheather the radiator or the thermostat is not working because my car has a very serious problem with it overheating?
Take your thermostat out and put everything back together, run your car without a thermostat... If your car no longer overheats, replace your thermostat.
Where is the thermostat located and how do you replace it located on a 1999 Pontiac Montana?
The thermostat is located at the driver side of the engine, under the air intake piping. All the intake stuff must be removed to get to the housing which has two bolts holding it in place. The lower bolt, located under the exhaust pipe, is a Bear to get at! Replace with an OEM part, as SOME of the generic parts won't allow you to get the housing back on without removing the exhaust.
Can 1999 Pontiac Montana run if the water thermostat is removed?
Yes the engine will run but not like it should. The thermostat is required on modern engines to get the engine to the proper operating temperature and keep it there. This will give you the very best mileage and performance. The optimum running temperature for most cars is 195 degrees Fahrenheit. without a thermostat the engine will take a long time to reach that temperature all the while wasting fuel. Without a thermostat the engine may run at a cooler temperature which is not a good thing contrary to what you might think. Anyone that tells you that your car doesn't need a thermostat has no clue as to what's going on with today's cars! Microprocessors and sensors depend on a certain set of parameters from the manufacturer. Included in this mix is the engine temperature. Remove the thermostat, and you throw the computer system into a tizzy! Install the correct thermostat for your vehicle and leave it in.
Do cars need a thermostat?
Technically, yes they can run without a thermostat. (not without coolant, just no thermostat) However, several things will happen. First, the engine will be cold all the time which will make it use more gas. Also, your heater will not work. Another thing is that your engine will not produce as much power because it's cold. etc. note: if this is being done to fix a problem like overheating, it will only work if the problem is caused by a faulty thermostat.

If the speedo works and not the odometer, take it to the speedo shop as something is wrong in the speedo itself. You can't stop the odometer without stopping the speedo.

Can you run a reducer rather than a thermostat in a '95 240sx?
if you are going to install anything other than a thermostat, then you are better off leaving nothing. the car will run find without a thermostat, in warm weather. it will still run without a thermostat in cold weather, but i do not recommend it because it will leave the valve open and the radiator fluid will be constantly flowing through the motor. what the thermostat does is block off the flow until the car reaches approx 170 degrees F. then once it reaches this temperature, the thermostat opens up allowing the fluid to flow, and thus cooling off the motor. so, without a thermostat it will just constantly flow, and will simply take longer to warm up. I've ran with without a therm. throughout winter without a problem, but you will have to let it run for 10-15 minutes until the temp. warms up. the thermostat is only a $12-$20 piece, so at that price, why not have one?
When taking of a 1986 Honda accord thermostat what can you replace it with?
Replace it with the exact same temperature thermostat as the one you removed. Do not run the engine without a thermostat. The thermostat is required to keep the engine running at the optimum temperature that will give the best performance and mileage. If it is overheating running it without a thermostat is not the solution.
