The thermostat is located just behind and below the power steering pump on the left of the block as you view the truck from the front. It is quite awkward to get to due to all the hoses etc

It may be a good idea to replace the hose clips with new jubilee clips when refitting the hose to the housing.

I also used some liquid sealant on the housing, as the hose leaked at first.
