Follow the large hose running from the top of your radiator to the engine.
It'll turn and run straight down into the top of the engine. The t-stat is
right where it hits the intake manifold. Check out the upgrades section of the
DML home page (http://www.dakota-truck.net/upgrades) and take a look at the 180
degree t-stat page. That's a V8, but the location is the same.
