My vehicle listed above runs steady at about 210. It doesn’t overheat or anything. I just changed the thermostat, but I don’t know what else it could be. My dad said heater core. I noticed the water was rusty brown when I changed the thermostat.

Good evening,

This sounds like the radiator is clogged with all that rust.

I would flush the radiator with a cleaner and flush it until all the rusty stuff is gone and you get nice clear water.

I would start there.
