Hey Bill,
Some fluctuation in temperature is normal, and the
temperature will definitely "spike" for a bit after
you exit a freeway (at highway speeds, you've got 70+
mph worth of airflow over the radiator, as opposed to
the effort exerted by the fan at idle or under 30
mph).
DEFINITELY take the radiator to a shop and have it
rodded out and cleaned. The last couple of times I've
done this, the cost has been around $50. After you do
this, you'll probably notice that your overflow tank
(definitely a good idea!) gets less use as well.
Sounds like you're on the right track to be ready for
driving in warm temperatures.
Keep it cool!
Elijah
