Tom and Ashley, thanks for the input.

I'll check the volume of air coming out under it.  Coolant is nice and green... so leads me to think radiator is probably ok. But I know that isn't a guarantee.  Do you know what temp it should be shutting itself off at?

Ashley, I don't know how ground problems on guage affects it. But let me see if I understand. With a ground problem it could read at a normal expected range while not driving.  But it would go up drastically when driving?  (I am assuming somehow a slight increase in temperature would be exaggerated on the temperature guage??)

Thanks!
Alan
