some major issues....cooling problems.
so this is the latest problem. from a dead cold start, my temp gauge goes all the way up. took some temps with my IR thermometer.
exhaust manifold- 200+/-
neck for upper rad hose- 200+/-
radiator- 65
temp gauge was pegged at top for about 10 mins before i took the temp. also, going down the road i turned the truck off, coasted for about 10 seconds, turned it back on and the guage dropped a quarter of the way. i watched it rise back up.
also another problem, which probably isnt related. but my heater core is shot. but ever since this problem, when i turn on the defrosters, is BELCHES fog.

You might want to by-pass the core for now, - until it's fixed. Sounds like it's disrupting the system.
Are you sure she's getting hot ? 200 is about normal. Could be your sender. You hear any gurgling after shut down?
