It's not at the 3/4 mark right? Just above 1/2 should be OK.

I am a tick above the half way mark now after the TQ and tranny cooler install. I don't remember what it was before the install.

Mine is 2-3mm below the midpoint. It never goes above that no matter if the AC or if it's 100 deg. outside. Just make sure the fins on your radiator is not filled with bugs.

Or maybe you mistaken the gas gauge for the temp gauge
