Well my water pump and thermostat went out a couple of days ago, so I had my mom go up and get those two things for me because I didn't have enough time. Well anyways, she got a 195* Thermo and I had it put in today, as well as the new water pump. I noticed it runs a little over the second line now of the water temp gauge (90' LX 5.0). The old one ran at the second line exxact. So what I'm gettin to is, i'm I running too hot or will I be okay with the 195*? Thanks in advance

Sounds ok. It is hard to rely on the stock gauge, but 195* is stock and shouldn't be a problem.
