can anyone tell me where it is located?thanks

Answer 1

As on most vehicles just follow the upper radiator hose to the thermostat housing. Make sure the engine is fairly cooled down before attempting. It can burn you pretty bad.

Answer 2

DISASSEMBLY


Drain the coolant from the drains on each side of the engine and the radiator petcock.
Remove the following components.
Lower engine cover.
Upper radiator hose.
Radiator shroud.
Drive belt(s).
A/C tensioner bracket.
Fan and clutch.
Water inlet tube.
Remove the thermostat. ASSEMBLY
Clean housing and inlet mating surfaces.
Place the thermostat in the housing with the jiggle (bypass) valve at the top.
Reassemble in reverse order with a new gasket, noting torque specifications in the figure.
NOTE: When installing the thermostat cover, be certain to position it with the arrow pointing up.
Replacement OEM thermostats do not require a gasket. Apply a 2-3 mm bead of Nissan Sealant (P/N KP610-00250) or equivalent to both mating surfaces.

Re-fill the coolant with the proper concentrate.
Check for leaks.

Answer 3

Just remove the A/C belt idler assembly T stat is in the middle of the engine. Between the timing cover three 12mm bolts remove the lower hose and metal extension change the thermostat. Hers is the problem old trucks can have a variety of other things wrong like tree seeeds in the radator and dirt. old crummy hoses so be careful your about to start something that might be hard to finish.
