it isnt HOT

  You mean it's actually not overheating -- just showing hot on the gauge? 

If so, radiator should be OK, sending unit could be bad.

so i just put a new thermostat in her and she is back to running good, its running a little hot but not bad at all totally drivable/wheelable

Please tell me it's not a stant thermostat   Had too many of them lock up on me, even the fail-safe ones that are supposed to lock open   Did you bleed off all the air in the system?
