Been fighting overheating issues with my 88k1500 with a 5.7. It’s rebuilt and have had it get hot a couple of times. Replaced water pump and thermostat has been replaced a couple of times. Never overheats if I just hop in it in the AM and head into work. Which I drive into work it’s 10 minute idle 2 minute drive at 15 then 60 mph into work. Now if I just fire it up let it idle 10 minutes then just drive slow around the land it will go up passed 210 then drop back down. Never fully pegs but takes longer for thermostat to open. Frustrated keep thinking it’s air locked somehow but I bled it and radiator is full when I check cold. Any ideas
