So, I just finished driving through a mud puddle, and found that my Engine was able to convert the splashed water to steam. Physical inspection, the radiator cap is hot (haven't opened yet due to heat), Coolant in the container, the engine is hot but not glowing red or anything crazy.
The thing is, the Thermostat acts like it's fine, slowly raising the temp to 210 (boiling) then staying there. Could it simply be the Thermostat is bad and is thinking is the engine is running comfortably and not supplying enough coolant? If so, is the Thermostat repairable or do I need to replace it.
Also, while waiting for the engine to cool, where is the location of the thermometer on a 4.0L Engine?
