Check your fans first. When you changed the rad did you do a flush of the engine?
So after getting rid of the banging noise, now the damn thing is running hot again. I was headed to work this morning when I noticed the temp gauge was up to about 195, which doesn't sound bad except for the fact is was only about 50 outside and I only drive about 8 miles to work. On the way home the gauge started creeping toward 210 whenever I got stuck at a red light. As long as I was moving the temp stayed around 190ish. I'm thinking it's either my fans aren't pulling enough air in, which will really piss me off since I just changed them about 4 months ago, or my water pump is taking a shit. Everything else, rad, t-stat is less than 3 month old. AHHHHHH I guess I'll pick up a water pump and se what happens. Any other idea in case this doesn't work?

I'm Mike, make sure you spell it right, because I do not want to get the wrong A$$hole in trouble.
If you do not have time to do it right the first time, how do you have time do do it over?

water pump can't hurt and they are cheap and not too hard to change.

What size T-stat you put on??
Remember a 190 Deg stat your gauge might show 200 Deg before the stat opens.
Also the engine reach high temp withing 30 minutes running( You drove 8 miles)
210 is normal temp.( Is needed for a good combustion if you have fuel injection)
If you don't give up---You will never fail.

I would lean to a water pump myself. Same thing happened to me I also threw in a 170 thermostat being I'm in Florida.
