Temperature Gauge

What is the normal range for the 7.3 PSD's temperature? Where should hte gauge needle normally be?

Mine is currently at about 1/4 of the way across the sweep of the gauge. Is that normal?

Im not sure exactly where the needle is suppose to be but for my truck (1996 F-250 PSD) around town, the needle is also 1/4 of the way across the sweep of the gauge. Its right where the "normal" line starts. Its not until I get on the freeway and start moving 65 mph or faster that it raises to about the "N" or so. Its never been more than 1/3 of the way across the gauge.

When my 03 is fully warmed up the needle lays in the middle of the gauge.
