The fans are running like crazyand if I start driving for a longer period of time, the needle comes back down. Yesterday i just stopped he goat for 2 mins and the needle was going up in the red. My dealer checked it and didn't see anything wrong. They said that this was normal, but it gets annoying over time. I am scared to go downtown bc I don't want my engine to get hot... So is my dealer right?

Over Heating is not normal. In the summer time on 90 + degree days you temp should not go above around 190. A few easy things you can check and replace are the Thermostat and radiator cap. Check your coolant level in the radiator with a cool motor and check the level in your over flow coolant tank with the engine fully warmed up. Constant high coolant temps could also be a sign of a bad water pump . Bring it to a good shop or one of our sponsers and get it checked
