I also drove up the hill to pick up my son, then went down the hill and came back up, all within about 15 minutes, and the temperature guage rose to 100 degrees...mind you the aux. fan had kicked in....

So, she's still running hot, but not boiling over yet...we're suppose to hit the high 30s this weekend so we'll see how she hold out. I may pull the rad out this weekend and try to clean it. I'll post a picture and let me know if you think its dirty....
