Getting too hot at idle

What damn good is it? It does exactly what the regular one does,

That's how I feel about free-range chickens and cage-free eggs.

How's come there ain't no free-range pork? I'm mean, cain't they just go lettin' the hogs wander a bit... ought'r make for some tender and tasty chops and hams.

The whole point of the "Failsafe" thermostat is that if SOMETHING ELSE in the cooling system fails so that the engine overheats, the thermostat will open far enough to engage a lock that keeps it open. It is NOT about the thermostat itself failing, and locking open.

That makes no sense to me.... what could possibly go wrong in the cooling system, where a locked open thermostat would help, at all?

Thus my distain for the Failsafe thermostats. They're useless.

There is no such thing as "failing correctly". That's the nature of "failure"--it's unintended.

I was just kidding. LOL

Plenty of feral hogs running free, & you can take as many as you wish.

There is a big difference there. Have a neighbor that has given me several dozen eggs from the chickens he raises in his backyard. His family of 5 just does not eat the number of eggs 6 chickens lay. The eggs are nothing like the ones you get from the hormone pumped mass collected stuff. Actually takes effort to crack the shells because they are so thick. Also they taste alot better and have more yoke to them. Fresh eggs do not even need to be refrigerated until after they are washed.

Nothing to do with the OP, but my $0.02.

Plenty of wild hogs up by the lakehouse.

It's a regional thing, interestingly. This image doesn't show density, only presence.

Sorry to hijack the thread with my BS about chickens and hogs.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled topic.

I had a thermostat in my '83 RX-7 stick closed once. I caught it in time and shut the motor down. I replaced it the next day.

When I was a Nissan dealer technician, a 4,000 mile Altima on the used car lot had a thermostat stick closed on a test drive. The salesman tried to drive it back to the dealership. It got so hot the distributor cap melted, which finally shut the car down. It got a new motor.
