Possible, but rare. The coolant may be circulating too fast to have time to dissipate heat when going through the radiator.

Yes a bad thermostat would cause overheating in any car. A thermostat regulates the temperature.
A thermostat that is stuck in the closed position is a very common cause of overheating. A new thermostat should be installed every time the coolant is changed.
Yes it can. A faulty thermostat can cause overheating which will cause coolant to be pushed out of the system.
A likely cause for the overheating is the thermostat is stuck. The best option when this occurs is to buy a new thermostat and replace the old one.
By overheating which will cause a change in the thermostat materials construction.
There are many reasons why a Jeep Wrangler is overheating. A leak in the radiator system will cause overheating. Too much pressure in the engine can cause overheating. A bad water pump or thermostat could cause overheating. The transmission can also cause overheating if it is leaking.
An engine can overheat from several reasons. A faulty thermostat is the most common cause, provided that there is nothing else wrong. A plugged radiator or a faulty water pump can also cause the problem. Once an engine has overheated the head will often warp causing the coolant to "blow out" of the cooling system and making it impossible to keep running without overheating. Damaged hoses or other leaks can cause overheating as well.
Yes
Yes, an engine can overheat without a thermostat. The thermostat regulates the flow of coolant to maintain optimal operating temperature; without it, the coolant may not circulate properly, leading to inefficient cooling. Additionally, the engine may not reach its ideal temperature quickly, which can also cause overheating under certain conditions. Overall, the absence of a thermostat disrupts the cooling system's balance, increasing the risk of overheating.
Running an engine without a thermostat is generally not recommended, as the thermostat plays a crucial role in regulating the engine's temperature. Without it, the engine may run too cold, leading to inefficient fuel combustion and increased wear on components. Additionally, prolonged operation without a thermostat can cause engine overheating during high-load conditions since the cooling system may not operate effectively. Overall, it's best to use a thermostat to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
Running a vehicle without a thermostat will cause it to take longer to warm up and your interior heater may not blow hot air.
Running your engine without a thermostat will cause it to run hot. An engine will run cooler initially without a thermostat. After that IT WILL NOT! Why you ask? Again, physics. An engine running without the restriction of the thermostat in the system (remember, even when it's wide open there's still some restriction in the system caused by the thermostat's small opening) will not keep the coolant in the radiator long enough for the radiator to 'radiate' the heat. That is, the coolant must stay in the radiator for a certain amount of time to dissipate some of the heat it has absorbed from being in the engine block. The coolant is in the block. It's hot. It moves to the radiator and gets rid of some of the heat. If it moves through the radiator too FAST, without the restriction of the thermostat body, it won't get rid of as much heat. Basic Thermodynamics at play.
