Seriously, why me. Now running hotter.
So I replaced the water pump, installed a 180 deg thermostat down from a 192 deg, get it all buttoned back up filled her with properly mixed anti-freeze and added purple ice. Before if I kept below 70mph she would run at 192.2 now she runs 195.8 and gradually climbs... WTF! I could keep her temp down if I needed to by running the heater, not now...

Almost surely some air somewhere in the cooling system.

Might this be helpful in removing air from the system
