OK, cool. I see now.
I do need to check that belt first, that may be the cause of my issue, maybe the power steering and/or water pump was/is run in reverse.
I got a lil under 2 hours of mostly highway time on right now, just driving it home from the car dealership. I checked the temp gauge like an addict all the way till I was near home. It stayed dead center of the acceptable range. Then it cut off at the light right off the highway, took a few tries to get it going, I saw some light smoke from exhaust after this, so it may have overheated right at the end of the trip and I did not notice. I never saw the red light, but the wife beared the cold and went back out and said it was lit.
I hope for the best, Best being under $1k fix.

What does the coolant look like and what color is the oil?
Run right back to where you got it and dump it back on them if you possibly can!

coolant sight glass and bleeder
I think this little gadget will help bleed and monitor bubbles nicely. Disco Fever posted it as part of his D2 inline thermostat mod which I will be doing this week (on the D2 of course). I didn't spring for this but I kind of wish I had.
Sava suggested it should have a hose connection so it could catch the spilled coolant while bleeding.
