It's right there. It's very easy to change. The part is only about $14 at AutoZone.

how often do these go bad? Is it good to just replace it even if nothing is wrong? i doubt mine has even been changed, 135k on car now.

You know you need to replace a thermostat when the cabin heater no longer delivers hot air.
