with my stock thermo, it goes to about 210 or so while not moving, fans will kick on till about i 180, the it shuts off heats up to about 210 and does it all over again. when driving around about 180 or so

Tweak, don't worry, I think thats normal. That's how hot mine runs. It runs hotter in traffic, and cooler on the freeway. When it reachs to about 230, the fans kick in, and it drops to around 190-210. Then it goes up, does the same thing and comes back down. In traffic though of course

Are you sure the air dam is still in place? If its missing the coolant temp will skyrocket on the freeway.

Have you checked the AC condensor for dirt? Plug that up and no air gets to the radiator.

yea, air dam is there and condenser is clean

Have you verified both fans are working and at high and low speeds? You don't need to run the fans when you are above 45-50 mph. They may actually impede air flow at higher speeds. The pcm would normally turn them off at higher speeds.

i turn them off on the freeway and also when my ac is on
