I'm really not sure is this is normal or not but when I'm just cruising on the highway my stock temp gauge will stay right around the middle of the gauge maybe a little higher. Same thing with most city driving. But if I just get up on it once for even like 30secs the temp gauge shoots up to about right on the "N" in "normal" on the stock gauge and then it'll stay there. Samething also happens when I'm doing any low speed driving (i.e manuvering a parking lot for a while). Now once again I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen but it kinda scares me when it's gettin that close to the ol red mark a the top of the gauge. And the fact that the temp doesn't go back down at all.
