I can't seem to figure out if the thermostat housing is on top of my motor or on the bottom. Please help.

Hi,

There are two different V6 engines. I believe they are both the same as far as the thermostat.

If you look below, I attached the directions for replacing the thermostat which shows the location. Let me know if this helps.

Also, it will be located slightly above the AC compressor on the engine block.

Let me know if you have questions.

Take care,

joe
