How much does it move? Does it do it all of the time, or just if you are pulling a steep grade?
Mine stays pegged durring normal driving. The only time I have seen mine move is when I was driving through the mountains between AZ and CA and I was pulling a steep grade for a long time (it was also very hot outside).
You may need to replace your thermostat, which is easy and inexpensive.

Get it from autozone for 14 dollars and new gaskets... at the dealer you get it for 15 dollars but need to buy the gaskets separetely, but at the end theres nothing like the original parts..IMO
