yea mine got to the 3/4 mark. i parked the front on a sidewalk, took rad. cap off, turned heat on high, and kept rad. full while i revved it up with my hand, after a few minutes air began to bubble out and it did it for about 10 mins and then no more air and no more problems.

Could be the fan clutch is shot, try turning off the engine and see how many times the fan spins (should only spin a few times) if it keeps going and going like the energizer bunny..lol, its shot...Tj
