[QUOTE="jimmyjamm, post: 1790276, member: 38515"] Thanks for your inputs, as I had this exact thing happen to me as well after having the cam phasers done last month. While the dealer was at it I went ahead and gave them the Full-Race radiator I had been putting off installing, so it was all done at once. I got it back on a Wednesday night, Friday we hooked up our travel trailer and headed east over the mountains for a weekend baseball tournament for our son and it started to heat with each slight rise in the highway before we even got to the mountain pass....I stopped and checked for leaks, the fans were running, and let it sit for a bit while we got dinner and did the purge from the overflow, and still had to milk it over the mountain pass at 45 mph to keep it under 240 degF. This was significant since last summer when it was 108 degF outside we were coming back from the coast across said mountain pass pulling the same trailer loaded down with a week of vacation with the AC running full blast and it heated to about the same temp (~240 degF) as last month when it was 39 degF and raining with the heat on (and that was coming home, which is a longer steeper climb coming from the coast to home). Now it will get to 238 deg F when I stomp on it to pass someone. I took it back to the dealer and they did a vacuum test for leaks and air and found nothing other than when I pointed out they ripped a bunch of the radiator ducting (the funny rubberized cladding to try and direct more air through the radiator) when they removed it to replace the radiator. I bought a 180 degF OEM thermostat for it and figured with that and a fresh vacuum fill it should never be a problem again...just the trouble of a much larger radiator and it actually now runs hotter is super frustrating.
