Ok I am doing one of those hit and miss repairs.
The water temp in my truck has been running around 220-260 pretty hot, eh.
The first step was drain the radiator, all new fluids and then a new thermostat.
However, after checking for any leaks after the repairs, nothing was found and it idled all night just fine around the 180-200 range with the rpm's running at around 800-900.
However, while running down the road the temp quickly goes back up to 220-250'ish or so.........then clicks back down to 200.........
So what gives?
Is it possible I just have a sensor that is goofy and old?
Can't if think that a water pump could cause this issue....
