Thanks for answering..I don't want to look like a dummy..I am surely not a mechanic.. But I can R&R pretty well.. The only thing is I am pretty sure it's the lower hose that goes to that outlet. Kinda hard to get to. I took the upper hose off and it definately isn't there. I even called a Nissan dealer and their computer says upper hose.. But that isn't correct.

Thanks again.

i have a 1995 nissan hd the thermastat is behind the power steering pump.on
front of block and beside water pump.
you have to remove the pump and tie it out of the way in order to get to the thermastat.also on the radiator the bottom hose runs to where the thermastat is .the azone tried to tell me where it was located ,but they where wrong!
