temp guage question
I noticed a thread the other day stating the guage should only settle a quarter of the way and mine sits at half.
half had been normal for me so I thought nothing of it.
now my girl turns the ac on and the guage shot up to 3 quarters so I changed thermo and flushed the system but it settles at half still although will not shoot up with the ac on.
is there anything I missed
srry im doing this on my phone
thanks guys (i searched the other day and either my search queary was thought bad or I just missed it)

1) Get an aftermarket water temp gauge - the stock one is crap.
Don't listen to others who tell you "oh, 1/4 is okay" or "oh, 1/2 is okay".
2) It's actually...normal...for the temp to CLIMB when the AC is one.
The auxiliary electric fan for the AC *SUCKS* to help cooling when the AC is on.

Thanks, i'm planning on trying to get some gauges this weekend. I want to get a cluster (oil/water/battery) to put under the radio. The reason I was worried was last year even with the AC on it wouldn't jump like that.
Thanks for the replies very appreciated
