Vehicle originally had coolant temp gauge at front in radiator which was useless, we relocated a coolant temp gauge on motor which provided more accurate feedback. Vehicle was burped properly and appeared to get all air pockets out. At idle and while driving a short distance the temp kept at the 190 degree range which is acceptable but after driving over 10 miles the temp went up to 220 and above and the vehicle started running rough until engine cooled back down again. Have good electric fan on radiator, which runs both when the temp reaches 150 degrees and above and keeps running when vehicle is turned off until temp is reduced to lower levels. Radiator is located downwards in front trunk area with air forced coming in from below front end and from interior cut our areas in front trunk. Thermostat has been removed for added water flow. Thanks for the comments. Roy
