Is it still boiling over? If so check and test the thermostat if okay-try bleeding the cooling system and see what happens-let me know-

No it's not boiling over as far as I can tell but the gauge maxes out although car seems to be running fine despite the heat I can feel when driving and opening the hood, should the color be green in my plastic tank
