I don't have a water temp. gauge, but...

I dohave the stock one, LOL. I live in El paso, and I just read this guy overheated up to 155 C and his stock gauge climbed all the way to 11 O'clock. I get that often when I get stuck in traffic, mor elike 10 O'Clock.

For the guys who have a PFC of a water temp. gauge, how much is at 11 O'clock. Thanks

That doesn't sound too good, the stock temp gauge doesn't even start to move until you are already in dangerous temperatures. Get an aftermarket gauge and find out.

-edit- unless the previous owner linearized the stock temp gauge, then you are probably fine

I agree. By the time the needel starts to move you have seriously high temps!

why not buy a watertemp gauge? its not that expensive considering the price of gas now adays. just dont drive your car for a week or 2 and you should beable to afford one.
