check your cap and reservoir, any leaking? fwiw, i almost over heated the other day while waiting at the border for 1.5 hours. i looked down and the temp gauge was at 3/4, both fans on and temp still slowly rising, this was with a new radiator and thermo. found out i had a leaking reservoir and the cap was bad. changed out both yesterday and now it runs much cooler. someone mentioned before about how the system pressure is an important part in how efficiently the system operates. if there are leaks (cap, tank, etc.) then the system pressure that should be maintained and used to help flow, is leaking out and coolant is boiling off. the cap has springs in it that get tired with age and vent off pressure earlier. if you notice that you lose coolant very slowly over a few weeks, you may want to replace the cap and see if that helps. just a though for a cheap fix.
