5.3l running hot
I have a 5.3 (only mod is cold air intake by spectre)
It runs hot half way on gauge and it used to be at the 1/4 mark !
I ve changed thremostat ( many times) new waterpump , rad flush , engine flush , but to no avail. I recently read that it could be my head gaskets. Anyone have a simaliar experence?

Hum... 285 is just a wee bit high..
Id do a coolant test and see if you have any carbon in there.. that would let ya know if your looking at a head/head gasket issue.
