          BIG SNIP

I have never seen a failed thermostat, and I have been looking for a long
time. I have seen many people not get all of the air out of the system, and
suffer dearly for it.

  I have had two thermostat failures in the last several years.  One failed
stuck
partially open and the car would only run hot on steep mountain grades or
at high speed with the AC on a very hot day.  Even then the flat road was just
a modestly higher temp on the gage, mtn grades required lifing off to keep
temps under control.

The other failure was a fail wide open, car running very cool.  Not a safety
issue.
