2004 SE 4x4. 3" SL and 32" tires.
I was driving home from college yesterday on I-5N with cruise control on going around 75mph at just under 3,000rpms.
I glanced down and noticed that the engine temp needle was bouncing from the middle of the gauge to almost all the way down to cold. I turned off cruise control and slowed down to about 65mph and 2,500rpms and that stopped the needle bouncing.
Was I just pushing her too hard? Any ideas what could cause this? Thanks for the input.
