Yesterday I was on a ride and it was really hot out, not sure how hot. There was also stop and go traffic. The temperature gauge on the dash display never went over 102-F. It sure seemed like it should have. Then I started thinking, I have never seen it go above 102-F.

Now, is that the maximum the system will indicate? Has anyone seen their temperature gauge go over 102-F?

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the incoming air, not the coolant temperature.
