Inaugural run this morning

[XLCOR_65]

So I FINALLY got my truck tagged the other day and decided this morning that I just had to drive it to work. It's been since 2009 since it's really seen much of the road and I live 5 miles from where I work anyway, so I figured, what the heck!

I didn't have any troubles and she ran like a dream. The only curious thing is, it's 36 degrees out this morning so I wasn't planning on it warming up quickly at all in that short of a time period. It kinda hung out at 130-ish for most of the way, and then on the last mile, sped up to 210 before dropping down to 180 where it should be. I know most people wouldn't mind that at all, but man, it bugs the hell out of me. I have always been plagued with bad luck when it comes to the cooling system. My coolant is full, it has a brand new 180 degree thermostat, new water pump, and the radiator is a behemoth aluminum 4 core. I have a fan shroud and the fan is set in the proper placement in regards to the shroud. (I would post pics to prove it, but I am at work and the company I work for blocks everything, especially site like photobucket and flicker )

I'm just wondering what else it could be. It almost seems like there is an air bubble trapped somewhere. Maybe I am just being over-aware. It's just nerve-wracking to see it climb higher than the thermostat is rated for and not knowing if it's going to stop. Know what I mean?!
