Depends on a couple things. Thermostat is in a case just before the return line. Seems to be decently accessible with the hood removed, however if I need to drain coolant to do this it's not going to be an easy task...
Plus on such short notice I don't have a thermostat handy, nor a new gasket for the case its in. Not sure if you can free up thermostats or not but I'd rather replace,,, making a gasket is easy enough though. Is it a generic thermostat, or a specific one for IH?
