anyways the temperature gauge stays in the normal temperature zone but the engine and allthe other components are freaking hot is this normal or what is going on
may sound stupid but what can i do im worried sick over my baby.

Normal, if you remove the black gasket that is up by the top of the hood near the windshield that has been proven to reduce under hood temps but other than that its normal.
