A six cylinder, ok. Do you have the tools and skills to take this on? Do you have the replacement thermostat and the coolant? Remove the airbox and take off the fan from the water pump. Take the shroud out and this will get you access to the t-stat. Pop the clips up on the hoses and wiggle them off the T-stat. Remove the bolts holding the t-stat,out it comes. Be sure that you catch the coolant as it comes out. Assembly will be the reverse
