Ran Hot Today

Never had it move above normal and today it went pretty high but still out of the danger zone. Stopped and shut it down and fan wa spinning while coolant went into the overflow. Let it sit for about 20 minutes and fires it up again.

Stayed normal for the rode home. Faulty thermostat that got stuck?

What's everyone think?

 

What was the temperature outside?

 

101 or so

 

I think you shut it down for nothing if you said it wasn't in the danger zone. If it's hot out sometimes it works harder

 

Probably just the weather but now's a good time to ask when you last changed or checked the coolant?

 

Did you check the coolant level after it cooled down?

 

Next time it happens try showing a picture, i know mine runs a little above the half way mark and apparently its normal from what ive heard.

 

No ot was boiling into the overflow. Much hotter than right above normal. It was under right by a smidge.
