Congrats Tom, you were so right. My truck never did anything to make that
thermo stick open. Once I removed it, I just moved back the tabs and let it
close. It could be used again, but what would the point be in that?

Workin at the zone, I would see those fail safe thermos come back at a
very high rate, stuck open after only a short period. I always
suspected them to be just an overpriced gimick.
