Mechanic, the A-B-A testing was done at night. Earlier yesterday when I ran an errand when it was hot outside, I got stuck in the middle Lane and the guy wouldn't let me over to pull over. By the time I managed to get pulled over, I was at 242F.

I'll run it without the thermostat when I get home on Thursday. I'm heading to L.A today after work (I work 10-6).

Oh I forgot to mention, when it's dark outside, thus ~90F instead of ~100 and no sun beating on the car, it's hard to get it to overheat. It's possible and it will if I run it to hard for to long (as I did in my tests) but under normal conditions it takes a while.
