I need to change my thermostat because of overheating problems. I searched and searched but came up w/different responses. Do i follow the top radiator hose or the bottom? and where does it lead to? how many screw/bolts/nuts are holding the housing together?

Damn, looks like you beat me to it...I wanted to be the asshole

Well I take it I can use that thermostat, or hell I might just pull it out and keep it out.

wouldnt you overheat with no thermostat? since the water is flowing a lot fast then with a thermostat, it has no time to cool in the radiator correct?

It actually works better because the water / coolant isn't sitting in the engine getting heated up so much because it is constantly cycling through the engine and radiator.
