well after this ordeal i have realized that the stock temp gauge sucks completely and an after market one is my next investment.
well i took out the thermostat and it showed some signs of wear and tear...while sitting there i decided not to install my new thermostat and run it without one for a while to see how it works.
i swapped fluid (which was definately needed) and let my car idle for about 45 min...after about 10 min or so it warmed up and my temp slowly climmed to a little under halfway and it stayed there for about 20 min. overtemp seems to be fixed with the removal of the thermostat.
thanks again for the suggestions
