The preponderance of evidence pointed to a thermostat malfuntion as the cause of my ruptured hose, boil over problem at Pinelands. So, yesterday I set about testing it. Pulled it out and did the kitchen pot method, along side a new one and sure enough, the old one didn't budge. There you have it. New one is now installed and we should be good to go.
Also gave Hanky a bath, since the rain washed most of the mud off anyway. Anyone have a good way to turn my now-gray tire sidewalls back to black?

My miracle tire cleaning cure is floor wax stripper with 2-butoxyethanol as the main ingredient. Wear gloves and try not to breathe in the fumes/mist. A brush like this one is good too:
Lucky Brush
They sell one like that at Advance Auto. If the clay is really stuck on sometimes 2 applications are necessary.
Thanks for the tip. I'll havet o give it a try. Nothing like having gray tires on a black truck.
