i did burp it now, and was getting annoyed that the temp gauge kept creeping up to 260. then, all of a sudden, it went down to 220ish and stayed there. i drove it for about half hour today, and temp gauge stayed at the last 0 in 200, which i assume is 220ish? It didn't move from there at all, either in traffic or on the highway. i guess ill be burping it again in the afternoon.

yea the whole 220 thing just bugs me. its making me paranoid that something else isn't working properly. I tried burping the system a few more times, and nothing comes out. I did notice though some residue inside the radiator.... would that contribute to it?
and this might sound stupid, but would mixing up the coolant brands cause this? I bought the 50/50 prestone mix from autozone to add after I flushed, because it was already low on coolant when I started doing the plenum. anyway to flush that gunk out?
and this is the paranoid side in me talking, but what is the clicking sound that the truck makes after you turn it off? this happens after you drive it for a while. sounds like metal clicking or something... im bad at describing.. sorry
