there is no thermostat there, because it is behind the LOWER hose. u gotta take off the fan shroud (so you have room to get at bolts and turn your wrench), and the power steering pump/bracket to get at it. it took me about 2 hours to get at it. have fun. oh, by the way you need a 170º thermostat. i thought that sounded a little too cold, but that is the OEM temperature. to test the thermostat, clean it off, go to the kitchen and get a meat thermometer and a pot. boil it in the pot of water until it's about 170, then keep an eye on the thermostat. it should open, mine didnt open til about 185, but im not sure how accurate my thermometer was. keep an eye on the thermostat, right below the big round top part. it should open down, toward the bottom spring part. note: the bottom plunger does not move, just the top one, that goes inside the big round part.
