Follow your upper radiator hose to the engine. You have the 'stat under that aluminum cover.
It is not hard to remove, just a little finagling does the trick.
I did mine without removing the upper intake.

Just folow your upper rad hose to where it meets the engine, there will be a little housing there with like 2 bolts, thats the thermostat housing, looking at it you can tell if you wanna do it or not, i'm gonna do mine when i replace the water pump... Have fun..

It's not that bad to change. It looks really hard to get your wrench in there but with a socket extension and universal socket it can be changed in like 10 min. My first time changing mine it took like 20 min.

"Yeah, it's a V6 SO WHAT!?"

 

make sure you dont tighten the bolts to much they break right off if over tighten..dont forget to seal it with something so it doesn't leak
