Sometimes when I stop for gas on a really hot day the temp will read about half way when I turn the engine off but the guage will be pinned for up to 30 seconds and the temp light will be on when I turn the engine back on.
If I leave the truck idling it's never a problem, only if I turn it off and on.
It only happens when I stop the engine for a few minutes, if I'm away from the truck for 10-15 minutes or more it's ok.
Is this normal?
After reading some other posts I thought maybe I need a new radiator cap.
