Default 03 hemi getting hot

hi all

my hemi is kind of overheating. it will warm up and the temp gauge dances around. it will go past half way point sometimes as much as a 1/8 inch to 3/16 then it drops fast right back normal. never to red line or to point that i feel i should shut it down. coolant level is right on. i put a new thermostat and radiator cap on but still acting funny.

could i have air in the system or some thing?

dodge forums has been such a huge help. i thought i would ask u guys and gals before i bring it to the shop

THANKS
