Best Answer

To change the thermostat you must follow the lower radiator hose from the radiator to the "Y" shaped housing. To locate this housing stand in front of the vehicle, look directly down and to the left of the engine front.. it is pretty easily seen. it is above the ac/compressor. and in front of the water pump. All you need to do is remove the 2 bolts that hold the housing together, then separate the housing, pull the old thermostat out and clean the matting surfaces of the housing before you install new stat and gasket. After this, put stat in where you took it out... put new gasket on.. connect the two halves and tighten bolts... Job finished.
