I wish it were that simple. I have a coolant overflow bottle and vented cap, the level in the radiator is to the top. Have a 50/50 mixture, fairly new water pump all new hoses and belts, new 7 blade clutch fan, and shroud. Been thru a couple of thermostats, even pulled the head on the passenger side to make sure there was no blockage.
It worked great until one day the sending unit went out and from that point on it has been driving me nuts. When its reading correctly (which is actually most of the time) it maintains the same temp whether on the highway or around town, AC on or off.
