Temp gauge rises as expected during warm up but then keeps rising all the way toward the top before I shut it down. This is after I drained the coolant for: turbo/exhaust manifold removal; temp sender replacement; temp sensor replacement; motor mount; alternator mounts.

I thought maybe I filled the coolant reservoir too quickly the first time, maybe trapping some air or something, so I drained and refilled again very slowly. Same creeping temp gauge. Doesn't seem like coolant is circulating--thermostat stuck closed? Thermostat was replaced about a year ago during water pump replacement by independent mechanic, not sure if oem used.

What do you think? Does it seem like the thermostat is the best place to start or should I be thinking about something else?
