overheating

[Dustya_318]

my water temp gauge read today at around 225 on the free way at 60mph . . could it be water pump or lack of coolant . cause it should be running around 180 right?

what thermostat temp is it running? is the coolant level correct? is the belt on it? is the radiator clear inside? is the pump leaking out of the weep hole? what was the outdoor temperature? were you flogging it? was the transmission overheating? did i welcome you to the site? doyou wear clothing? is your mom a girl? are you a human? wait, scratch the last 2 questions. welcome to fabo.
