The only reason to power down when everything seems normal is if the sensor had a bad reading. Loss of 2 cups is minimal. Could be leaking from heater core and you would not notice the leakage.
The alternator is going out,now,the alternator can be bad,or the voltage regulator,in the computer(on this vehicle),Have the alternator checked out,13.65 volts,to 14.25 volts is what it needs to be,with the headlights on,and ac,high blower setting,it needs to be checked,at the battery with the engine running,and these components on.
This sounds like a stuck thermostat, or possibly a weak waterpump. Top off you coolant, then check both of these items for the proper operation. A loose radiator belt could add to the problem too. Marvin
