Can someone tell me (with detail) the location of the thermostat in a 1987 Toyota 4runner??? Thanks in advance!!!!

Well, it's located in the thermostat housing, of all places.










:grinno:

Typically, follow the top radiator hose back to the motor, and where it connects is the t-stat housing. Remove the hose, then the housing, and there's the t-stat.

Thanks!!! :)

I thought it was in the exact center of the thermostat gasket!

Gaskets?

We don't need no stinking gaskets!



















:rofl:

Without knowing better, I would have guessed the lower radiator hose. I wonder why the upper hose on this motor?
