06 - 5.4 XLT with tow package - engine temp guage
no matter what the outside temp is from 10 to 110 - idle or pulling my boat in a 8% grade in 100 degree the temp guage is always mid center. not stuck when cold shows full cold and comes up to mid and just sits there. normal??

With my scangauge showing my actual temps, I always know where it should be. 178-180° when it's very cold. 190° ish during the summer.

Mine does the same thing, it didn't move towing my trailer up an 11,00 ft mountain range. However, I put a ScanGauge II monitor on my truck and it showed my coolant temp rose about 20-30 degrees climbing the mountain range. It was summer, and I had the A/C. the Scangauge can also help you monitor other engine functions and helps me monitor my gas mileage. Bought mine on Amazon many years ago.
