I would go for the stat replacement. You can test in hot water. Just before
boil it should be fully open.

  Here's a constant temporary issue I am having....

  When car is cold, from sitting all night...
  It starts up fine, I warm it up for 2 minutes and then start to drive.

  About 5 minutes into the drive the temperature guage begins it s ascent to
it's
  normal spot; just about a quarter of the way up from the dead cold
position.
  Then the needle keeps going, all the way to the HOT position, where it
sits for
  a minute...and then it creeps back down to the quarter mark.

  Here is what I have done to date:
  - Pulled the NEWER radiator and had it flushed
  - Flushed the block out twice
  - Water Pump is fairly new on the 45,000, new everything, motor
  - Newer Hoses are not collapsing
  - Heater core is clean and works
  - I have "burped" the radiator

  All I can think of is that the Thermostat is taking too long to fully open
and
  needs to be replaced??
  Who's with me?
  (Just a pain in having to lift up that A/C Compressor to make that
change.)
  Thanks!

  Matt Allyn
