Mine stays on that dash just below where yours is. Those are not meant to be that accurate so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Is your waterpump/thermostat changed?

Temp looks about fine. You can always check your fluid level, flush the sytem, & change the thermostat just to be sure.


BTW, those are the most ginormous pics posted on CL ever I believe!!

pics are too big for image tags.


The gauge is normal, leave it alone.

Mine sits just like Fireblaze describes, never over it. However, your whole guage panel is different from mine as its an auto and newer.

Yours is fine. Mine sits a little bit over yours which means I need to flush my cooling system.
