[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1028216, member: 52972"] I agree with Eddie. Probably a sticking or defective thermostat that is not opening fully. It could also be a clogged up radiator...either on the outside with bugs and leaves, or on the inside with corrosion. Either way, I would clean the radiator, flush the cooling system, replace the thermostat. While you are at it, check the hoses. If the bottom hose is too soft it can collapse and reduce the flow of coolant and cause the engine to run hotter. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
