97, f150, 4.6L, 138,000 miles. temp spikes to overheat in the morning after running for about 10 minutes or after sitting for at least 6hrs during the day. the temp spikes, i shut it down, restart and it usually runs fine after that (it will happen 2 or 3 times in a row some times), until it completely cools again. i just replace the thermostat and radiator reservoir cap, all fluids and plugs and wires. it was happening before all the service and still exists. any ideas?????? i appreciate any info or insight.
