SOURCE: how to change the thermostat on the 98 ls montero

assuming you have a 3.0 v6, follow the top hose from your radiator until you can see where it connects on the other end. That is your thermostat housing. Make sure you do this while engine is cool.

Where is thermostat located?

The pressure cap on the four-cylinder engine is on top of the thermostat housing, on the driver's side of the intake manifold, rather than on the radiator. Locating the thermostat is easy, just look under the pressure cap.

How to change a thermostat

Hi.

  1. Locate the thermostat housing. The housing can be found following the radiator hose toward the engine. The housing is located on the engine.
  2. Remove the three screws that hold the thermostat housing.
  3. Replace the thermostat.

Note. The thermostat spring goes toward the engine, the other side toward the radiator.

Here a diagram:

Need to fix new thermostat

Your thermostat is located under a metal housing on the top of the engine. The upper radiator hose connects to this housing. To change the thermostat you basically need to drain the radiator after your engine is cold, disconnect the upper radiator hose from the engine, and remove the bolts from the small housing. replace the thermostat, and clean the surfaces on both sides and replace the gasket too. reinstall the housing, attach the hose, and refill the radiator. start the engine, warm it up and check for leaks, then re check the coolant level after the engine cools off again.
Here's a link to a good article on replacing your thermostat...

Location of engine thermostat

It is located on thetop front of the engine. Look for a radiator hose running to the engine block. You will see a housing which the hose connects to. It will look similar to this. Remove the 3 bolts and lift the housing and you will find the thermostat.

Getting at the thermostat housing bolts to change thermostat

Most thermostats are located in or near the intake manifold area. Locate your upper radiator hose, then from the hose/radiator connection, follow the hose backwards to where it connects to. The goose neck or mating part, has to be removed. The thermostat is usually located inside the port. You may have to remove other covers and or parts to gain access to the goose neck assembly. You also have to let the car cool and drain the coolant before performing this task.
