    Also.....if I lived in Florida, I would probably be running a lower temp thermostat. But...that is just me. :D

    Problem is fixed :clap:Turned out to be the water pump, the impeller was slipping barley any circulation of water.... I put in a new 160* t-stat while I was at it (fail safe by motor rad) drove around for a couple hours with lots of stop and go traffic temp Gage never went above 165*...........
