Mine goes 1/4 the way up on both the 4cyl and 6cyl.Have you ever changed your thermostat? Have you looked threw the forums for similar issues? Not good if you have a bad temp sensor or gauge sense it appears overheating is the number one killer on theses units.Im guessing they should run around 210 degrees depending on your thermostat. Good luck and stay cool. METALMOVER
