is the thermostat located in the front of the motor on the right side behind the valve cover, i ask cause it looks like a pain to get out with all of the wires right there...

Yeah, it's on the LIM. Just follow the upper radiator hose, and that's where it's at. Based on your description, I think you've got it, though. It's an easy change, really. Ten minutes at most.

just make sure you bleed the system of air after you do it. and absolutely dont do it when its hot cuz there will be some coolant comin out
