The hoses and coolant and thermostat and belts etc. all supposed to be new 4 to 10 months ago, but it's easy to say it was done, always better to check it out. I think the main point here is that if all the above mentioned items are checked out and done properly then it probably will cool down some under the same conditions. Remember it's fine at 100 or 110, just 115 to 120 with A/C on and driving hard. (is there any other way :-)

If everything was done and it still gets hot then of course the heads would have to come off and the inner engine cooling channels would have to be cleaned and painted, but I think I am a far distance from there for awhile yet, a lot of things to check here. Clutch fan and blades and Thermo and fluid for beginners etc. Thanks for the input. I'll let everyone know what I find.
