Everything is new radiator, hoses, thermostat etc. Only the water pump is the original that came with the truck... NO leaks, coolant level is good.
The truck runs HOT getting up to 250 degrees unless I keep my temperature dial to the max heat setting, even then it will stay around 205-215 degrees. I already tried burping the air out for about an hour using a Lisle Spill Free Funnel. I don't know if I need to burp the air some more, or buy a thermostat that requires lower heat to open.
Let me know of any advice ya'll can think of,
Thanks!
