Engine can still run hot with thermostat stuck open. My f150 ran hot with no thermostat in it at all. Turned out a cylinder was cracked.

This happened to my wife's Nissan pathfinder. After some investigating, it was just a low coolant level. Check your radiator and reservoir first. Make sure to fill them to the proper levels. I did this months ago and no issue since. Mechanic friend of mine told me to start there.
