Default Boiling Coolant problems.

I just got back from a cruise with my ws6, never really got on it once. When i pulled it into my driveway and shut it off i could here the coolant boiling. I jumped back in my car and fired it back up and turned on the heat full blast and that didn't help. Oh yea, my temp gauge was reading normal this entire time, never above stock temp. I also had my radiator flushed about 3 weeks ago. So what in the hell is the damn problem? Is my thermostat shot? Any help would be appreciated.

It could just be something simple like your radiator cap..If it doesent hold pressure, the coolant will boil at a much lower temperature..

+1 Radiator cap and thermostat replacement should be considered.
