Default DIY for thermostat replacement?

Threw a code on my way home yesterday. Hooked up my scanner and have a P0128 code. I have a 2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4X4 with the 2.4 multi air engine.Called my local dealer and they estimated over $900.00 with 5 and 1/2 hours of labor. The part is only $38.00. I'm looking for a diy to replace my thermostat. Throwing a P0128 code and the engine isn't quite making it to 160 degrees and heater is also not coming up to temp. I've seen a couple of videos, but I'm looking for a step by step with pics. Does anyone have a link they can share? Any help is greatly appreciated guys!

Perhaps this discussion will help, just skip over all the drama.
