Scotty I have a 2011 tundra it was overheating and I changed the thermostat and radiator and flushed the cooling system and it still runs a little over the half way mark but does not overheat like I did when it was getting close to the hot mark what do you think is still causing it to run a little hot and how to fix it?

Did you make sure to bleed all of the air out of the system? It typically gets trapped in the heater core. See if your heater blows hot when you select hot and turn the fan all the way up. Raise the front end on ramps, or a driveway on a decent incline, let it cool down, then remove the radiator cap, check the coolant level. Run the engine, if there is air in the system, the coolant will bubble as it burps the system, and it will lower the level. Add antifreeze until the level stops dropping and check for hot air in the cabin.
