Internal temp gauge did not go to red, stays in middle of gauge showing that vehicle is not overheating.
Just a quick post on the above. Should the fan really be kicking in this time of year, unless sitting in stationary traffic? Are there two sensors that read temperature? Anyone with half a brain knows that temperature guages do not move quickly and lag behind the true situation.
