hello everyone

i had a query , today the outside temp was 53 celsius here in the gulf and i have a hummer h3 2008 Solar flare (the south african edition) all of them here come from there,,,,,, but i noticed as i was driving the temp gauge crossed the half line (which never happened since i bought it a year ago) and stayed in between the 1/2 line and the 3/4 line for some time..
im worried is this normal for all or theres soemthing i need to do about it????

thanks for your help

Do a search on here & other Hummer forums, I've seen threads about this all w/ different info / outcomes.

 

It is normal. You are not overheating until the needle goes in the red. When it is hot out, trucks will run hotter than on cool days, no rocket science there. The other big factor is the humidity, which make cooling systems work slower, thus the temp guage reads a bit warmer than you may have seen before.

Just like your fuel guage, you are not out of gas until the needle is on E. No need to panic because you have less than 1/4 tank left, just watch it and fill up before you run out.

 

thanks Doc Olds

Bottom line, just do everything Doc Olds says, you won't go wrong !

 

Mind you, if your temp gauge is running along at about 1/2 and you notice it has suddenly gone to 3/4 - you might want to be keeping a close eye on it. A rapid change in temp (other than right after startup) may be an indication that the engine is about to overheat.
