temp question

That seems to be a little warmer than it should be running. I just changed mine and all I did was fill the radiator, run it for a while, fill it, run it, fill it ... and eventually it quit eating fluid and it was all full. I guess I don't really know how to "bleed" the system either, but mine seems to be running at a normal temp.
I will say this though, since I bought my truck (spankin' new off the lot) the temp needle was always around a 1/4" below the 210 mark (NEVER higher or lower), but now that I replaced the water pump the gage is at a consistent 1/8" (guessing about 190 degrees). This seems odd to me, as I replaced the thermostat with the stock unit (195 i think). I did replace the temp sensor though, maybe that is the difference? Did you replace yours?

Park your truck on a level lot or on a slight hill pointing up. Take the Rad cap off and start your truck. let it idle for a while. After the stat opens, air bubbles should slowly release. Continually fill the rad until no more air purges out. I would let it idle for about 30 minutes. Good luck.
