I'm sure anyone wanting to know anything about the crossfire could find it in the search and 1000hrs of searching which I don't have time for or care to do... Thanks

OK then, when ever you want to know something just ask as I am sure that others have time on their hands and are just itching to answer all your questions.

Mine runs a hair over half in traffic or idle. I always keep on eye on the temp gauge while driving and everything seems OK. Of course others have more experience with these cars than I. Just want to share my observation.

I'm retired also, so have lots of time to watch my temp gauge. A hair over half is normal for my car too.

Well I was at autozone on my cell phone and the guy at the desk didn't know ****! So I needed a right now answer not 20min of searching the forum on a 4inch screen... I didn't expect someone to do hours of research over it its a common thing and figured it would be easy enough for some one who had bought it to answer it... Sorry for the ruffled feathers...

Not ruffled feathers, but just think about it for a minute. In a perfect world, there would be one thread for every answer, you could search, and find exactly what you need in a moments notice, this is obviosuly not the case. The reason - people want instant gratification, so instead of spending literally 10 seconds searching, they spend 20 seconds starting a new thread hoping someone will come along and answer them. Problem is, now every single time you need an answer, you create a thread, so when others search, there are an insane amount of threads on the same damn things. This leads to clutter and lack of finding important info.

I am not trying to be an ***, just informing you. I am sure your time is about as important as the rest of ours and to blatently say you can't be bothered with searching will make those around here remember next time you need that immediate answer. Just sayin...

It is ok. NO WORRIES! This place has been dead lately anyway. A new thread will only make this place come alive again.
