Oh shoot! I meant
LOWER radiator hose! The hose should be about 2 inches in diameter. Just follow that hose back to the engine and that's where the thermostat is located. You're going to need to take off the intake to get to it cuz it's pretty cramped.
Use a flathead and try to pry the hose off while pulling on it. The thermostat is inside the metal housing.. good luck.
