That was changed with the water pump. I just dropped it off at the radiator shop. The owner and I went over everything that I had done so far. He was touching the upper and lower R-hoses and noticed that the lower one was WAY cool even the metal housing. He thinks that the T-stat is not opening, stuck closed or put in backwards. I'll keep ya posted

I just finished talking to the R-Shop. It was a faulty thermostat that was installed at the first mechanic I went to. He used a OEM part this time and its running like a champ again!

Now I don't know if I should go back to the guy that installed that first one that failed, because when we left his place the car was still running warm. He never tested the car, had he done that, he would have caught it.
