I was feeding the other day when it started steaming bad luckily i got it shut down before it overheated and i got to looking and it blew the small coolant hose running from the thermostat housing to the head. I replaced the hose and the leak was fixed. i refilled the coolant making sure to go through all the steps to insure the cooling system didnt get airlocked and everything seemed to be going fine until i ran it to feed again and it started to heat up on me and upon shutting it down it sounded as though the coolant was boiling in the radiator. My guages all work properly and it didnt get to hot so i believe the head and head gasket are fine. Im thinking the thermostat is stuck shut and was trying to get some further opinions on it. Would a stuck thermostat result in that hose blowing like it did? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks</p></blockquote><p></p>
