you've either got some air trapped in the cooling sytem, or your
radiator fans aren't cycling properly...

One thing more: Are you sure it is really heating? Try checking the
temp. with another method--always a possibility the gauge is giving
inaccurate readings. Hope this is the case. s

Sorry for not answering, as I had hoped for a more knowledgeable one
than I would answer. My only thought is to try and find a heater hose whose
height is physically above the radiator top & burp it through there--maybe
even fill it from there. Luck to you & please post back as to what you
found that works. s
