If both the guage and scanner fluctuate the same then you know there is a physical issue with the cooling system.

Interesting, I did not replace the sender. Maybe the sender is what was crapping the bed and not the thermostat. I pressure tested the cooling system before replacing the thermostat and there was no leak, etc detected. What could physically cause this that wouldn't show up on a pressure test if not the sender?

Hmmm I bled it twice, wouldn't a bubble result in a higher temp reading not lower? I have been bleeding it by just letting it idle with the rad cap off, would you suggest doing something different?
