It's been one of those days...had to come home early because someone pulled out in front of daugter on her way home from school..now I have some cosmetic repair on her car , but she is O.K . so that was good ...figured I would repace the heater core in my 1/2 ton chevy with a 4.3 v-6 that the wife drives..repalced the thermostat already and it was still fluctuating on the temp gauge from startup it will go to 250 + before the thermostat will open , and even then it will fluctuate between 195-230 bobbing and weavin' the whole time....buddy tells me the heater cores plugged , replace it , ok spend 35 bucks put it in tonight , get a flat in the process start the truck , let it warm up while I am changing the flat , finding the spare is flat also ...the gauge goes up to 230....I shut it off and finished the tire feasco..(spare held air after I pumped it up) took it for a drive and the temp gauge went to 250 and stayed their longer than I would like , the thermostat opened came down to 195 then back up to 210 and sorta lingered...Any ideas????Does the system need to be "burped"?? The only thing left is the water pump, and the previous owner replaced that within the last year, and the truck is not driven that much. Any help would be appreciated ...it been a long day, off to look for Reatta parts, thanks Shawn
