thats a hell of allot of play for the toyota temp gauge. being a broad guage as it is. mine sticks in the middle and stays there. The toyota guage is set to measure it on the BROAD so to speak. if the car is just under hot. doesn't mean its "a little hot" its actually ALLOT hot. toyota designed it this way to reduce temp gauge flux and avoid having people freak out every 20 seconds.

Something you may wish to consider, is the collection of debris between the AC condenser and the radiator.
This may be a moot point since the radiator has been changed recently.
Having said that, this "space" is an area which can not bee seen without IC removal.
Just a thought.
