I’m not a car guy. I want to be. I’m learning. I learn by making friends with mechanics and absorbing their information. I had a car a few months ago with some overheating issues. (Got it resolved. No water in my coolant at all, using straight concentrate in a brand new, empty radiator, like a dingus. 🤦🏼‍♂️) But before I fixed it, someone said it might have been the thermostat. I asked a mechanic friend of mine about it. (I haven’t known him long.) He told me he’s been a mechanic for right around a decade and has NEVER seen a thermostat issue cause overheating. Is he just totally out of touch? Or did I misunderstand how the cooling system of a vehicle works? Let me know.
