I read a couple other posts that said it was probably a stuck thermo. Considering I didn’t have any other issues I think that may have been it. We drove past a lot of other cars that were sidelined with the hoods open and radiators steaming up that hill. I am guessing it must be a known problem in that stretch of road.

Long time ago I had that problem. Yes, it was a stuck thermo and yes it overheated and blew the cap. Maybe check this out before you get like me, on Road with nothing for 40 miles at night. Lucky for me next morning we found an RV place there to fix it. Then later on we got to really fix it with lots more stuff being replaced to get it to run right.
