does turning heater on drop temp? if so, radiator clogged. had same issue myself. found that by increasing cooling capacity (putting coolant through heater core) that temp dropped 20 F easily. replaced radiator and system runs normally. flushing will not guarantee a clean radiator. total cost was less than $200.
