If its 2.7L the thermostat is at the lower radiator hose and not at the upper
u need to raise the car remove the alternator

What if the coolant is also getting hot would it be the thermostat? Or could it be something else before I take the alternator off and un-do everything

So its 2.7L
Coolant getting hot is a sign of overheating
as a 1st step coolant level should be checked & check fan operations (fuses and relays ), if all OK

then go for the thermostat
