first off its a 93 22re. I was driving to town 26 miles from home and around town doing errands. I had a/c going. I noticed temp hand reading about 3/4 th over. not in red though. then back down to about half way. now usually temp hand only reads about 1/4 th of line. when I get back home I hear the antifreeze bubbling in the expansion tank. checked oil and there were no water on dipstick. checked under radiator cap after it cooled down and there were no oil in antifreeze. drove it to town the next day with a/c off and temp hand never went above 1/4 th, and when I shut it off no bubbling in expansion tank. could it be a blown head gasket or bad thermostat? oh and the engine only has about 14000 on rebuild.

I have had both, head gasket and thermostat and it sounds like a bad thermostat. And its a much easier fix to see if that was the problem. Anything over half way on the white is a red flag to me and the first thing i noticed for the head gasket was white smoke and milkshake. Just fix it before you do blow the head gasket

will replace thermostat as soon as I get back home. I am currently out on the road. I am 18 wheeling it for 10 days.
