did you change the thermoSTAT? if so what temp stat are you running? how big is the hill?

if you are running too high a stat, you may not have enough reserve cooling capacity available when encountering a hill.

hovering just under 100 seems too high for a normal op temp.

also your radiator may be marginal, either plugged internally or externally.
