Which would be cool because it has been exposed to cooling air.
so by what i said you think i should just try and get the thermostat changed? I have felt the thick hose thats on the right side of the engine that comes from the right side of the radiator and that does get hot, But any of the hoses that go to the Coolent Over Flow Tank to the Radiator is Cold, I think i had said that correctly??
