The fuel filter is located in the right back corner (drivers side) basically between the firewall and the frame rail.
Now if you need to change that you would might want to change your fuel pump pickup screen which is attached to your fuel pump in the tank. That you can get access to through the panel under your rear hatch carpet.
The thermostate is located right under the metal pipe that the upper radiator hose connects to.

It's easy to see the difference...the high pressure hose has an extra liner in it (the Goodyear stuff I bought at Checkers has a blue liner)- looks like a hose in a hose actually.
When I replaced the filter and hoses I also replaced all the clamps with ones like this...
.They come in size specific ranges and provide even clamping pressure without digging into the rubber hose. PepBoys sells em in packs of four for a few bucks.
