Heater line broke while driving and over heated up to 217 per tuner, fixed the line and filled with coolant now the temp gauge on the dash after warm up ond on the road will jump up to 200 then drop to 180 real fast prior to over heating engine ran at a constant 180 unless towing, temp sending unit? Thermostats? The tuner prior to over heating would drop or rise 1 to 2 degree's at a time, after over heating sometimes it will jump 4 to 5 degree's. Any help out there?

Sounds like you did not "burp" the system to get all the air out. Theres a bolt on the top of the tstat housing that you loosen, and fill the system til fluid starts seeping out that loosened bolt. Tighten bolt, fill to proper line on overflow tank. Check after driving, fill as necessary.
Burped it on my lunch hour today seems to have helped a little i will do it again tomorrow, i did notice my fuel economy dropped 5 gal a mile for some reason not sure what thats about not good
