you need to provide the temp its reading on the gauge, and the ambient temp helps determine if its too hot or not.
The normal temp range is around 80 - 85 in town, a little higher if ambient is high (over 90 F) and its normal to see it climb on inclines to close to 100 but not much over that unless severe conditions
How long since the radiator was flushed or replaced?
