My opinion, that's good enough.  Assuming you used a 180F thermostat, it's
running warm enough.  Until something else strange happens, just drive it
and don't worry.

IMO they took the numbers off the gauge because the dang things were never
very accurate to begin with.  Without numbers, the dealer could claim
anything was "normal".

At this point, it could be almost anything that changed : gauge, sender, VS
or even how hot the engine was running before.

But don't be surprised if the gas gauge gets to 'E' a bit sooner than it
used to.
