Cooling issue.

On my 04 PSD I have been having some cooling issue. On the highway it runs 192 but when I get off the interstate it shoots up to 204 and doesn't come down for a while. Earlier this year I had studs put in and also did a flush and new thermostate. This problem has started recently. Could this be a bad stat or water pump going out?

The radiator is nice and clean. When going down the interstate ECT 192 and EOT is 201-202. After a long run on the highway when stopped the temps are ECT 192 and EOT 195. When I had the work done I put in a new oil cooler and installed a coolant filter. One thing I did though was did the flush after the engine work.
