PS Pump Hoses changed out....PS Fluid changed, "burped" and locked left to right...everything is set and ready to go for steering...NOW onto the Lower Radiator Hose....which still hasn't come in to AutoZone...they've been really helpful, but getting parts from them can be a pain. MTF (More To Follow - Figured I'd put that in there since Chuzie would've been the only one to get that acronym....)

Finally....project completed....just in time to go back to work. Temp staying constant right at 210.....a temp that I can certainly live with. I am sure it was a combo of a weak water pump...old hoses and probably a stuck thermostat. Thanx everyone for the helpful hints. See you all at the Beach Bash!!

i would look at using some triple gauges instead of the factory temp gauge...that 210 sounds high still, but it could just be the gauge. im installing triple set also in a couple days. mine tends to read 170-180 no matter what...so i dont trust it at times
