New JL running hot?????

Caught the Bug
Just bought a new Wrangler Rubicon. Appears to be running hot,. Just want to know if this is normal. Gauge on dash next to tact reads just below normal, good.
But in the off road app which shows 5 engine functions the digital gauge reads from 200 up to 235 at times. This seems high. Most of time it is around 212 with the oil temp always about the same. The fan has come on a few times, noisy, around 232. Normal???

No way, congratulations on your new JL! Yes, running on the warm side is totally normal. The JL has a powerful fan just for that reason. Think nothing of it :)
