- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove the air inlet duct.
- Drain the cooling system to a level below the thermostat.
- Remove the thermostat outlet-to-engine retainers (usually either 2 bolts or 1 bolt and 1 stud), then remove outlet from the intake manifold.
- Remove the thermostat from the housing, noting the orientation for installation purposes.
- Carefully clean the all traces of the old gasket or sealer from the housing and outlet.
- Install the thermostat to the housing, oriented as noted during removal, then position a new gasket (if used).
- Place a 1 / 8 in. bead of RTV sealant in the groove on the water outlet sealing surface, then install the outlet while the sealer is still wet.
- Install the outlet retainers and tighten to 21 ft. lbs. (28 Nm) for the 4.3L 19-96 models or to 14 ft. lbs. (19 Nm) for the 1997-99 models.
- Properly fill the engine cooling system and check for leaks.
- Install the air inlet duct.
