i'm not good with cooling so here's my dilemma. recently my truck started to have a moving temp gauge, it will go from cold to almost the H and then it will go down like normal, it never used to budge much at all. when i open the hood it is actually fillijng and overflowing the overflow tank. it only does this when i am stopped or am not on the gas. if i come to a stop and put it in neutral and give it some as, i cna make it stay down. i'm thinking thermostat is sticking and with the more gas, the pressure builds up enough to keep it open. any ideas, i'm gonna replace it first.
 






It sounds like a bad thermostat to me, that would be the place to start.
 






I would start by replacing the T stat.

Good luck......
