Let us know if the tps fixes it!
Yeah, that temp gauge is not very sensitive, so when it gets close to the red, you're already approaching a dangerous temp! I can't recall what it was as its been probably 10 years since I tested this, but on the '87 gauge, at just under the red mark, I think the temp of the water was around 205º! at just under the middle mark, it was at 185º.
I run a 185º thermostat in my truck, which has the 22RE, as well as a 3-core radiator, and the temp gauge is usually around 1/3rd to just below the halfway mark. Its nice on trails when you're sitting at idle most of the day!
