To replace the thermostat find the coolant elbow, it will be a rounded "L" shape towards the front of the vehicle. this will have two bolts attaching it to the block. Remove these two bolts and carefully pry off the elbow. Note how the thermostat sits in the elbow. scrape any excess gasket and be sure not to gouge the metal surface while doing so. install new gasket and thermostat, install elbow and two bolts and tighten (make sure not to over tighten).add coolant as needed to reservoir and run with radiator cap off for 10 - 15 minutes. shut the vehicle off and re-install cap.
