Who has installed a T-Stat in a Rendezvous?

I just bought a new thermostat and I need to hear from someone who has done a remove and replace before. Do I actually have to remove the manifold, or just the cover...or what's the best way to tackle this?


Thanks alot!

Thanks for the info Max. Sorry you had to edit my post...I've cooled off now. The info is still pretty vague on the Autozone site. I would sure like to hook up with someone who has done this before.
Round 2 in a few days lol.

I assume this is a 3.4. removing the throttle body is the usual way, bleeding the system is very important in this process. Try a site search, all 3.1 and 3.4 of those year vehicles are the same thru the GM line.
