Is the hose to the heater core hot?

Im thinking its probably the heater core. Not a fun job - dash has to come out. Mine could probably be replaced but I wouldnt consider tackling that until I absolutely had to.

Saying that, cause it's more logical with the coolant drained, your in the garage/shop/driveway, basically at home and not on the side of the road with a blown hose. What's another $70 in hoses compared to say, a damaged engine?? If you can't tell, I'm big on maintenance.

What kind of thermostat?

I would really recommend one from Cummins. I have seen many have trouble with cheapy parts store thermostats in these beasts.
