Thanks for your response.
I did the burp thing. Squeezed the upper hoses and all.
Right now Im thinking it may be the radiator. Because the temp stays right on the mark until I turn the ac on, then once the heat builds up its hard to get rid of it. If I turn the heater on full, the temp immediately drops down below the normal mark. Im thinking maybe the radiator is not keeping up. It is the original rad.(174000mi)

This all started after I flushed using prestone cooling system flush.
Im thinking a new radiator(possibly a 3 row) would eliminate this problem.
Id appreciate any comments you might have. All comments and advice welcomed.

Thanks

Lawrence
