Thanks for the info. I'm in Tallahassee.

Well I thought the overheat issue was put to rest. Thought wrong. Turns out if you leave the hood down it WILL overheat after just a little while at idle after running to heat it up.

I ran a new test. Left the hood down till it started boiling at idle. Took the hose and poured it to the radiator. Cooled it down, but took a LOT of water to do it. Noticed that the ends of the radiator would evaporate quickly while the middle would not from what I could see.

Leads me to believe the radiator is clogged. Not getting enough flow through the middle where the fan is.
