[QUOTE="TORQJNKY, post: 8408989, member: 65567"] This is right out of the service manual. [B]Replacement of the Thermostat[/B] 1. Drain the engine coolant. For additional information, refer to Cooling System Draining, Filling And Bleeding in this section. (I wouldn't drain the entire system) 2. Remove the thermostat housing bolts. 3. Remove the water thermostat. 4. Separate the thermostat housing. 5. Remove the water thermostat and the O-ring seal. 6. Inspect the O-ring seal. Install a new seal, if necessary. NOTE: The thermostat is indexed and must be returned to the original location. NOTE: Make sure the new O-ring seal is secure around the thermostat. 7. To install, reverse the removal procedure. 8. Fill the cooling system. For additional information, refer to Cooling System Draining, Filling And Bleeding in this section. [B]Filling the coolant system[/B] 1. Check all hose clamps for correct tightness. Make sure the radiator draincock is closed. 2. Place the heater temperature selector in maximum heat position. 3. Remove the pressure cap from the cooling system reservoir and the fill plug from the engine crossover tube. CAUTION: Do not fill the cooling system through the reservoir only. Coolant will not enter the engine. Only the reservoir and the radiator will be filled and engine overheating will occur. 4. Add coolant into the fill neck on the engine crossover tube until coolant reaches the top of the fill neck on the cooling system reservoir. 5. Install the cooling system pressure cap on the reservoir. 6. Continue to fill the cooling system at the engine crossover fill neck until full. 7. Install the engine crossover tube fill plug. WARNING: To avoid the possibility of personal injury or damage to the vehicle, do not operate the engine with the hood open until the fan has been first examined for possible cracks and separation. CAUTION: If the engine temperature gauge does not move, coolant level is low in the engine and must be filled. Stop the engine, allow to cool, and fill the cooling system as outlined. 8. Run the engine until the thermostat opens (coolant flowing through the radiator lower hose becomes hot). 9. Stop the engine and allow to cool. 10. Add coolant to the engine crossover tube fill neck until the cooling system is full. 11. Install the fill plug. 12. Repeat the fill procedure if necessary. [/QUOTE]
