I am having this problem, so I took it to a radiator shop and they said it was the thermostat, was fine for a day then started acting up again.
So I checked the fan and it was wobbling, so i replaced the clutch and it was fine until i jumped in the throttle and up it went.
So I yanked out the t-stat and it was bad (grrrr) so I put in a new one, and it still got hot when I drove it hard or pulled a load.
Then I noticed it was pumping the antifreeze out the overflow, and next was a new radiator cap to replace the other new one I had got when I replaced my radiator before I started having problems.
Now it will heat up from cold just before it reaches operating temp then settle back down and be fine, but I'm worried it will overheat if I have to push it, like going up a hill near my work.
I got a new water pump but haven't put it in, I'm thinking about putting it in and swaping the radiator for a new one and drilling the hole in the t-stat, but I may just try the swap and drill the hole and see what happens.
Does anybody have any other suggestions on this one?
