So does your radiator cooling fan kick on at about 3/4 or a little past that on the gauge?Are your upper and lower radiator hose's both hot when it's at 3/4 on the temp gauge?Are both your heater hose's getting hot going into your heater core?Those are the thing's I need to know.

It doesn't get passed 3/4 even if your just sitting there idling?How did you flush the heater core?When the water pump wear's out they leak. If your lower hose is staying cold you have a flow issue I would recheck your thermostat.
