When your car gets to 235 does it boil over?
Buy the cap that was suggested to you about two weeks ago that tells you the temp. right on it to determine if it's a gauge issue.
Or at the very least when it's 235 can you with it running slowly open the cap to see what's going on in there and/or use a meat type thermometer.

I had that cap on it tonight... it also showed 230




OK good so we know it's a real # then.

Does it get to that # just with time or time and cruising?
What I'm getting at is it a stuck in traffic (low airflow) problem or cruising problem too?

Top and bottom of radiator same temp?
Pull thermostat to see what temp. it is and or replace with 180 or 160.
Could belt be loose and slipping?
Lastly is there a spring in lower hose?
