well i havent worked on a 3.8 but it should be easy follow the top radiator hose to the intake then you see the metal elbow thats where the thermostat lays it is a good time to drain your coolent to put in good new stuff you dont have to but its a mess if you dont it takes one seal you will see when you take it out
just make sure that both seal surfaces are clean
