220 and a steady rise, IS over heating in my book...

This is the problem with most discussions...If he continued to drive, it'll boil over and tear it up, and we all know that...So, rather than try to talk about 220 is not "over heating", lets stick to what I posted...

Now, while I know you'll think i'm being an ass for saying that, think through what I have said from the start of this thread...I will do the head gasket checks along the way, but based on what he has told me, it doesnt seem to be a head gasket...He can make hard 1/8th mile hits, with no issue...I would expect a head gasket to show signs under full throttle pulls like that...But, it will get checked out too...

Again, it only stops climbing due to the fact that he pulls off the highway...
