It's easy, just two bolts at bottom of the water pump. But here in NY plan on those bolts being siezed up so be gentle with them so as to not snap them off.

 

Use caution when selecting a new thermostat as they are not all created equal.

 

How do you know it has plenty of fluid?

 

How do you know it is running a little hot? If it's the temp gauge going up, it is probably running a lot hot because the gauge doesn't move much even up to 210F or so.

Gauge should be right around in the middle. However, the gauge doesn't really move much in the range of say 170F to 205F, it's made to stay pretty level in that area. For a more accurate reading, use a code reader or tool capable of reading the engine coolant temp sensor value out of the ECU.

Thanks. It's right in the middle.
