    Possible that air is still in the system, maybe try letting it warm up with the rad cap off and seeing if it bubbles some air out.

    Maybe I didn't bleed it enough. I will check for bubbles and bleed more if necessary tomorrow and post my results(won't be home tonight). Really hoping it's something small like this. Trying to sell the car and an unknown overheating issue definitely drops the value.

    Guess I didn't bleed it long enough last time. Got quite a bit more air out and got a much steadier stream of coolant through the bleeder valve. Drove a good distance(roughly 22 miles) while it is a little over 90 degrees outside. Fans had to work a little but never got loud(they did after I first changed the pump a week ago, before the new water pump it sounded like a jet engine about to take off). I actually barely noticed the fans turned on. Just noticed the air they were blowing on a sticker. Temp hovered right around the 190-200 range the entire time I drove, wasn't bobbing up and down. I think it's fixed, but I'll give it another week to be sure. Hope that was the only issue. If that's the case then the only problem when selling will be no A/C. Thanks for the support guys.
