Ok, this is the only thing left with my heating thing that I can't figure out. I reverse flushed my core and now my heat works perfectly but just like before while in gear if the rpms go over 3000 the temp gauge drops all of the way to C until the engine goes under 3000 rpm. Anyone have any idea what this could be? Thanks!

Sounds like you need a new thermostat. The flushing may have caused some debris to keep it from closing.

i replaced the thermostat before i did the flush and it still did it and still does it after i did that flush. i guess i'll have to open up the thermostat thing again

Yeah .. that would be my best guess. I know it's a real pain to get out. I'm mailing you a picture of the cooling system which may be of some help but it does show that if the thermostat is working properly the engine should have no problem heating up and RPM should have no effect.

i just went driving and noticed another thing. i've been notocing lately i've had a loss of power in the low end and when i get to a certain rpm, which just happens to be 3000, it feels like something opens up and my cars takes off. i just went out and drove it and kept watch of the tach and temp gauges and just as i though, the two are together. right when the tach hits 3000 rpm the cars takes off and at the same time the temp gauge drops. this is so weird

Does the temp gauge drop instantly or slowly over 15-30sec?

instantly

If it's instant it is not your thermostat. Even if your thermostat opened up completely the temp gauge would drop slowly over 10-20sec. This is an electrical problem but I'm not sure what the three things you list have in common. Anyway I would bet that your thermostat is just fine.
