Running Hot.
Mu 2008 Uplander normally runs at 50% on the temp gauge. Lately, it has quickly been reaching 75 to 85%. If I turn the car off and wait 2 or 3 minutes before restarting, it will run at 50% again or if I run without stops (such as traffic lights), it will quickly drop back to 50 %. from time to time it will jump up and then drop back down. Could it be the thermostat needs to be replaced or is there another answeer?
