    Straight up? You mean the middle of the guage? That is where it *should* be.. or just a needles width past that.

    Sounds like everything is fine.

        Some cars run right at half, and some just run cooler, no matter which one has which new parts. Half temp is fine.

        But, you could check... fan clutch, thermastat, water pump, radiotor, etc.

            You don't like the look of it? :?

            Was the car running cooler before? And what do you mean you "checked everything"? Did you switch out the thermostat?

              no i didnt change anything i looked in the bentley(i think its bentley its downstairs im too lazy to look) manual and found a quick check and did that and it checked out and i checked the fan clutch with the newspaper deal

              it hardly ever gets to straight up and it hasnt done it this often before it just kinda makes me think theres somethin wrong

              but hearing that it being just a tad past the middle makes me feel ok
