I have a 1998 Pontiac Transport that after driving it several miles the temp gauge goes into the red. Sometimes it just nearly goes into the red then back down to normal. I have replaced the termostat, water pump & radiator. I have removed all air from the system, performed a pressure test to see if I was losing pressure and no pressure is being lost. No service engine lights to be reported. Any suggestions?

You may want to have a local radiator shop check it out and let them know what all you have replaced. It kind of sounds like air in the coolant system.
