tderonne,
My scangauge wasn't working this week so it can't tell me anything. The engine temperature gauge was in the red but it didn't boil over. I stopped, left the engine running with the heater wide open and poured cool water over the radiator, the temperature dropped and I didn't seem to have any engine problems thereafter except on long steep hills. By shutting down the AC, turning the heater to full hot and running its fan on high we were able to keep the temperature below the red mark thereafter.
