Thanks John,

It runs hot by just normal driving. I never drive it hard. It is hot in Arizona and I use the AC but it has never gone this high before on any of my 164's so I was concerned. My other 164's always stayed right in the center of the green even when the AC was running.

I have a brand new radiator so I do not think that is the issue. I have a new thermostat as well. I do not see any coolant leaking anywhere. If I let the car idle in the drive for about 5 minutes, the needle goes up to the orange marker.

The car was neglected before I got it so I am wondering if it isn't just a good idea to replace the water pump along with everything else as a preventative thing?
