Thanks Michael. Now for an update: engine temps did the same all the way home, but, once I got into LA (flat) the temp ran around 184, would sometimes drop to 178. When I exited I-55 and entered I-10 and accelerated it jumped up to 189. It leveled at 184. When I got to the Miss. river bridge I shifted to 2nd gear and climbed at 35mph. Temp got up to 193!
Could this be a bad thermostat? If it is a problem I want to fix it before the next trip.
