Did you replace the thermostat with the same temperature rating as the previous one? You might try an cooler thermostat, instead of a 200 or 190, go with a 180.

im not too familiar with a change in sea level. but could that have an effect of the cooling system? i know the higher the less pressure so it can boil faster (but the cap will negate that) but could it be less air is getting pulled over the rad fins?
