I'm a little cautious at times too as the needle would go to the middle of the "0" in the 180 number. I've been hearing that it's normal, especially in stop and go traffic. Also, when was the last time you cleaned your front radiators?

I think you are fine if its in the middle of the 180 mark.

Mine is in the middle / outer edge of the "0" in 180 ... It's in the middle of it while driving, and when in traffic it goes out to the outer edge of the 0... I have a LN ims upgrade (heard people run hotter after for some reason), and the engine has like 17k on it.

Anyone know if that is okay/normal?

for some reason i never noticed how much the temp gauge "dances" around . up , down a little in between. i wonder if it is just the summer heat because i'm fairly sure that in cooler months the temps do not move around , more consistent.
the car has 52K and i have not cleaned the radiators. some day i will.
