2001 Montero sport that the temp guage keeps rising even after changing the thermostat twice.?

I have changed the thermostat on 2001 Montero sport twice and the fan clutch. Temp gauge still rises high when at a stop. Dealership service checked twice and stated its OK. But why does the gauge rise? Don%26#039;t want to overheat the engine.|||Could be a plugged radiator.|||its possible the bottom of the radiator is stopped up on it,that will cause it to over heat a slight bit,and cause the gage to rise on it,it may come down to you having to have the entire cooling system flushed out on it,that may cure it,and it can also be a water pump going bad on it also,if you cant find it and flushing it out doesn%26#039;t cure it have a shop check it,they may be able to find the problem with it,flushing one out usually helps it though,good luck.
