Right when I start driving the heat meter will jolt the the half mark between Hot and Cold. But if I do not put the heat on for the ac, it will rise on the meter and almost reach the Hot mark. What will I need to replace? Radiator, thermostat, the tubes? Please and thank you

Hi there,

replace the thermostat and have the radiator flow tested, check the cooling fans are working and have the sender checked for proper operation readings.
