Mine does the same thing. I dont like it, but it happens. have you checked the basics? is your fan or fans working, is your coolant fresh, how about your T-stat, it working? is the Air dam in plaece and decent condition?

I made an airdamn, flushed my cooling system completely, wired my fan to a manual switch and now with the AC on it will only get up to 240 going up hills. before the flush and dam I had to cut off the AC or I would be in danger of pegging the temp needle. I still dont like the temps I run at, so I am going to look into a larger core Rad and a better fan.
