So its now hit over 110 here in AZ, and when I drive to work in the mornings (80* outside) my alero has no issues with keeping cool, but yesterday when it was 113* outside, the temp climbed to just under the 3/4 mark and stayed. there... I stopped for gas on my way home and leaving the gas station, it was at just over the 3/4 mark but dropped down closer half way between 1/2 and 3/4 mark on the two mile drive to my house.

My drive to and from work is 24 miles of highway, 55-75mph, with just a couple of miles of surface street.

the Records show that the PO replaced the water pump about 10k miles before I bought it, but that was 3 years of time between when then and when i bought it a couple of months ago.

Is there any specific things I should look at, or should I just flush the system, and go from there? I did replace the t-stat on saturday as friday is the first I noticed the temp go up, and figured it would be an easy/cheap thing to replace (ha!).
