If you filled it while the t-stat was closed, then there were areas that had no or little coolant.Once the t-stat opened,,,, the coolant went to those areas but you did not have enough to fill those areas as well as cool the engine.I suggest letting it run for some time with the cap off and seeing if you can get some more coolant into the system.It would not be a bad idea to replace the t-stat as they seem to fail more often once you have a coolant issue such as the blown hose..</blockquote>
