For a while now my car has been running warmer than what I think is normal. I have had Ford cars all my life and this one just doesn't seen right. Once it gets warmed up, the normal on the temp gauge. It will usually be on the m or the a. I replaced the thermostat this weekend and now it runs on the L. My radiator fan kicks on and it works, but is that normal for it to running that warm?
