Follow the upper radiater hose from the radiater to the engine block. The part that the hose attaches to on the intake manifold is the thermostat housing. In the housing is the thermostat. Just two bolts attaches thermostat housing to the intake manifold which is attached to the engine block. If you replace the thermostat yourself make sure that you see how the thermostat was before you take it out. The spring side faces into the intake manifold. Drain some radiater fluid before removing the housing or you will spill fluid all over your engine block. Best to do this with the engine cold. Buy a gasket and high heat antifreeze resistent silicon gasket sealer when you buy the thermostat.
The thermostat for the 3.5 Liter is under a flange bolted to the top of the block (in the valley), connected to it is a black pipe that connects to the lower radiator hose.
