I just changed my radiator the other day. I knew it was leaking about a week but the engine never overheated. After I changed it and drove it the temperature is fine but I notice that at ideal it wants to stall. I read somewhere that one symptom of a stuck thermostat is the top hose is a different temp then the bottom hose? And that you can hear bubbling in the engine after driving? I just want to make sure I did not crack I seal or gasket from high temp. There is no radiator fluid leaking nor oil. Could the bad ideal be caused by a faulty thermostat?
