Summer is here, and I have friends over for the holiday weekend. We have been taking the 4Runner all over Germany, and it has performed flawlessly.

One primary concern, however, is the inoperative temp gauge... You know... The one that sometimes works when cold, but jumps up to just below the halfway point when warming up and stays there. I know several people were working on finding the cause (and fix) for this issue, just wondering if anyone found it yet.

The friends have a newborn baby, so I have to run the A/C. There are a LOT of 15-20% grades here, and I know it is getting a bit toasty underhood pulling some of the grades (especially since I put my 33's on for the summer). I would hate to blow the HG again because I can't tell that it's too hot.

So, who is the genious that figured it out?
