I got her back from the shop and she still seems to run hot. The actual temp gauge or sender maybe reading incorrect. After having her parked for an hour or so, it still reads just above the 80 mark. I took an IR gun to her this morning after a 20min drive with 80 degree ambient. With the gauge reading just above the 100 mark, i got 160 on the lower radiator line, 150ish on the upper, and about the same on the engine where the upper hose connects. I will look into this next.
