What year is your ride? Lt1's are famous for this issue, try pulling out the sensor on the rad and cleaning it up. Did you make sure there isnt any air in the system?

its a 98 ill try cleaning the sensor. when i drove to work today about 30 min the light came on and off twice but the temp stayed around 180, until about 5 min from work the temp went up to 210 deg. drove home and it stayed around 180, let it idle for about 15 min. and the temp only got to the first line after 160.....

thanks for the replies

Sounds like you have air in the system. Purge the air and that should cure your problem.
