jsut htought of something else... there are ways to test the thermostat... or jsut replace it, they are cheap..... my truck didnt have a thermostat when i got it... ran cool until summer..... then it started getting hot...... from the research i did... it was becasue the water was actually flowing through the system so fast because there was no thermostat, that it wasnt in the radiator long enough to cool down

It might be the thermostat or water pump. The thermostat is easy enough to replace. It could be neither. Your radiator may be partially clogged. Just thought I would throw that in.
