Here's some temp samples taken with a heat gun:
Outside Temp: 102 degrees
Pavement Temp: 121 degrees
Pass-Side Radiator Tank Temp: 153 degrees
Dr-Side Radiator Tank Temp: 183 degrees
Thermostat Housing Temp: 197 degrees
A/C on Max, center outlet temp: 35 degrees :-)
Factory temp gauge reading: 1 millimeter past the first hash mark (I can just see the hash mark to the left of the indicator needle)
