    I don't use the cluster temp gage except as a reference. I watch it come up as the engine warms up then it will take a dive as the thermostat opens up. Other than that if the temp is holding steady I don't worry about its accuracy.

    It is behaving like it should. Warms up a bit when idling, fans come on as they should. Temps stay steady when driving, creep up a tiny bit at a light and go back down once I start moving. I guess I won't worry about it. I got a cheap OBDII streaming tool just for fun. I always wanted one anyway. All I have in the toolbox currently are code scanners.
