It turns out that the song's actual title is 'Mountain Girl' and it was a 1947 hit novelty record by Dorothy Shay, A.K.A. "The Park Avenue Hillbilly." Wodehouse gave the song its correct title in the 1964 novel Frozen Assets (U.S. title: Biffen's Millions) where it was a particular favourite of the eccentric Edmund Pyke, who was known to entertain his luncheon guests by playing it sixteen times in a row which, at 3 minutes a go and fifteen to twenty seconds to bring the needle back to the beginning each time, works out to almost an hour of wear and tear on the Pyke gramophone needle, not to mention the wear and tear on his guests' eardrums. A fair, representative sample of the lyric follows:
More likely so than not it's probably not going to be your thermostat. Your radiator is more likely the culprit. Have your coolant system checked/tested and if needed flushed. Also make sure your fan clutch is not bad. Hope this helps.
Oh, but the thermostat is located behind the water outlet/thermostat housing.
A few ideas. 1) Try the motor home where you are now and see. Find some REALLY steep hills or something and try it out. 2) If it is an automatic transmission, you may need to purchase a "transmission cooler" kit to add on before you try mountain climbing. 3) If it is a stick shift, take along another clutch disc and pressure plate and throwout bearing in case you burn yours up. 4) And remember, cars and trucks that normally operate at sea level will not do well in high mountains. They need to have the timing and/or carburetor set for high altitudes. 5) Many countries outside the USA have different octane ratings on their gasoline, you will need to take along the stuff to set your engine to the octane rating of the gas you buy. Be blessed
