Yup, it's NOT fixed. I drove the piss out of it today and it was
fine. The lower rad hose started warming up indicating coolant
circulation. No overheating. Then went to a friend's house and on
way back it started again, temp rising, no heat, the usual. It was a
7 mile trip back home that required pulling over four times to let
it cool down enough to start driving again. Interestingly, I noticed
that heavy engine braking down hill would bring the temps from
almost in the red to normal, but once I started accelerating the
temp would rise again. Wonder why it did that?
Anyway, I plan on blocking open the thermostat first thing in the am.

Higher loads = higher EGT. Higher EGT = more heat produced=more
cooling is needed=higherHP
Thermostat test results will be interesting.
