Overheats
My truck has started to overheat. Right after I start it it heats all the way up to the danger level. If I drive it overheated for about 3min it cools right back down to normal temperature and will stay at the normal temperature as long as I am driving at a steady pace. However if I stop, like at a stoplight, the temperature will quickly rise again. I'm at a loss as to what this could be?

My guess is the thermostat. Mine didn't heat at all. So I put some cardboard in front of the radiator and I got some heat. I did this to check if the gauge was working. Removed the thermostat and it was stuck open. I just sanded all the rust from it and it has worked just fine. And that was a year ago. Ever since, I've had minus 0°C and over 40°C.
