First, drain your radiator, the drain plug should be on the bottom right of the raditor facing the truck. The top radiator hose is attached to the thermostat housing, remove it, there should only be two bolts to remove from the housing, take those out, pop out thermostat, clean housing apply new gasket put new thermostat in, the same dirrection you took the old one out, put her back together, add antifreeze till full, start truck and add more antifreeze until full, and your done. Good Luck Larry

To change that thermostat you need to follow the top radiator hose to the motor from the radiator. It will lead to the thermostat housing on the block. The housing will be anchored with (2) bolts to the block (I think). Take the housing off and the thermostat is housed inside.you will have to replace it with a manufactured suggested thermo(probably 180* or 200 degree thermo).

To replace the thermostat, follow the return hose from the radiator to the black plastic encasement which witholds the thermostat. It is pretty tricky to unbolt it from the engine (there are two bolts, one visible and the other is underneath the plastic piece) but that is where the thermostat is located. Good luck
