What do you check when the temperature gauge on a 1996 explorer reads hot?

Sounds like the thermostat has stuck shut (gone bad). It's located where the to radiator hose attaches to the engine. To remove it loosen the hose clamp from the water neck then slide it off. once you've done that remove the water neck which is usually held on with two bolts. once you remove that the thermostat is right there. Just pry it off with a screwdriver. Do everything in reverse to replace it. Hint: To check to see if the thermostat is bad you can put in a pot of water and bring it to a slow boil. If it doesn't open when the water is boiling that means it's bad.
