just below 1/2way point of the normal range on the meter...
never moves...either the cooling system is working perfectly, or teh guage is laffably inaccurate...
doesnt matter if im going up a really steep hill with a bed full of weight, in the hotest day of summer or just driving around empty on the coldest day of winter..
guage is always pointing to the same point...when at operating temp.

WOAH!
You guys got some problems. I've never seen mine above 160!
EDIT: I thought we were talking trans temp gauges. On my SCII, I operate from about 180 - 190. Posted last night after coming home from snow plowing. Sowy.

My truck never seems to warm up, it runs just at the start of normal. The heater blows just warm air not hot. I was thinking on changing the thermostat to see if that helps any. What do you guys think? I also thought someone put a cooler thermostat in there like a 160, or it just maybe faulty.
