Look below the passenger valve cover on the front of the engine block. The radiator hose is connected to the t-stat housing. The housing & t-stat is one piece.

Not on my 99. The t-stat just sits inside the housing and can be changed without changing the housing.....I have done so.

Yes, you are correct. The 97 + 98 is the housing/t-stat. 99+ is just the t-stat.

Interesting. My 99 it is all one unit. You can get the stat to come out but it's sold as an assembly. Mine was built in Sept of 98 so maybe that's the difference.
