My temperature gauge goes crazy, up and down, doesn't overheat. The low coolant light comes and goes off, but its full. New radiator, hoses, and thermostat put in recently. Today when it said it was overheating it started to chug so I pulled over and turned it off, it had a gurgling sound, waited ten minutes, ran fine. I have taken it to the shop they don't know wheat's wrong, can anybody help me? I have seven girls and I want it to be safe for them. Thank you!

You've probably got a blown upper intake gasket. Its very common on this engine. Its not as big a deal as it sounds. There may have possibly been a water pump issue as well. Itll be ok.
