Say, randyb as others on the Forum have noted this would also be a good time to clean the outer and inner faces of the radiator. With time these can really become impacted with insect matter and road grit and will eventually lead to reduced heat transfer and increased fan run times, regardless of thermostat function.

Did not understand the urgency. This article is about changing the housing, but you can easily use the pictures to do just the thermostat. It is behind the lower of the two large hoses. You will have to drain some coolant to do this. Then just remove the three bolts the lower hose is clamped on and there is the thermostat. Be careful of breaking the plastic parts, they get brittle with age.
