HANKSXXX Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Unless I get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, my 97 runs just off the first mark on the low temp side of the gauge. I have never seen it near the high mark... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haWHYnXX Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Unless I get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, my 97 runs just off the first mark on the low temp side of the gauge. I have never seen it near the high mark... +1 I have a 97, 00, and 01. The 97 almost never gets any higher than the lower mark, but the 00 is always near the upper mark.

pdaddy21 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 normal running mine stays just above the lower line on the cool side but i noticed today that it got just a tad over halfway toward the hot side when i was at a redlight,but i was only at the light for a couple of minutes,was just wandering if it was normal and when should i start worrying about how high is too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen it near the high mark... +1 Same here. Was 90 in some places the other day, and it was clos to the bottom of the range in motion. Stopping @ a light, up to mid range, when the fans kicked in. Never higher than 1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorceress Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I've got an '02 and she runs hot - typically around 112-115 before the fan kicks in. REALLY disconcerting the first couple of times I got caught in traffic on a hot day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
