Well, that's better, but, still too much.

Still and all, if it held that pressure for any appreciable length of time (measured in minutes) I think you are fine.

I'd replace that radiator. I have to flog the everloving hell out of my truck to get it anywhere near 200 degrees.

Well.nomore getting hot since the drive through? Maybe it was just because it was one of those wrap around drive throughs I had to turn and break alot I figured let me see what's gonna happen f/@ked it's f^&ked so I did about 40 miles@ 90 mph.Radiator cap was cool to the touch when I made it back to the Ponderosa .So I let it idle for 15 Minutes to see if it was the clutch fan and its still cool so I think I'm good after a few more flushes. To get me by to buy a new radiator also after the run&sitting overnite nomore substance on top of coolant. Its just strange it did it that once@the drive through &after I turned the heat on& drove long&hard many many miles she stayed cool&@ idle she stayed cool.Is there a possibility turning the heat on could have burped it?

Possibly. Might have been an air pocket left in there yet. I know the gas motors are notoriously difficult to burp.
