Default Thermostat question?

Is it possible thermostat to be stuck closed... As in no coolant passing through it and my car not overheat at all? And run fine. When I squeeze lower rad. Hose it feels like there is no pressure in it? But had car run at idle for 30 mins and drive the car hard and drive at 70 and nothing no over heat just normal on gauge....

Yes, a stuck closed thermostat is common.

Ok, but can be stuck and still not overheat?

Not likely unless you live in Siberia.
