Hello smack609: My name is Roger and I will help you. To locate the thermostat follow the upper hose from the radiator back to the engine. The upper hose connects to the thermostat housing. Drain the radiator and remove the two bolts at the housing. Remove the housing to locate the thermostat. Reverse the procedure to reinstall. NOTE: The coolant system will need to be purged of air. Filling and starting the engine is not sufficient to fill the cooling system. Locate the bleed ports and open them. One is located on the thermostat housing. With the bleed valve open fill till you see coolant and no air bubbles. Start the engine and warm up. Watch the temperature to make sure it does not over heat. You may need to purge the system more then once. Do not assume the system is full until the coolant fan cycles at least twice. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer. This way I know it was helpful. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

Disconnect your battery (make sure you know radio security code if you have one) Unbolt starter, lower it and remove wires. Some twisting and turning may be required to get it out. Reverse process to install.
