i am still having some issues with my tempeture.
After I bleeded the radiator system, I thought maybe this would help my temperature gauge not get up to 220*. Well its still going to and beyond 220*. It was almost at 240* today. Can someone help me without being SARCASTIC about it?

Your radiator might be plugged up. A proper flush might help as well as a new thermostat. If your rad is plugged badly, you have no choice but to replace it. Thankfully, they aren't too expensive these days (they all come in from China).

Are your fans coming on? I think my fans are not coming on (haven't checked properly) so I get somewhat higher temps. You can run the AC and high fans should automatically on.
How new is your coolant? Perhaps, check with a hydrometer.
