Respectfully disagree... a thermostat does not need to be stuck closed to cause overheating. Thermostats often open incompletely causing a warm running condition up to the point of overheating due to a restricted coolant flow. Have seen cars run warmer than normal under certain conditions and normal temps at other times. Replacing the thermostat solved the problem.

Good luck!!!
