 Subject: Temp Gauge/ Sender ????
IP: Logged
Message:
I had a problem last fall before I stored my truck for the winter. The temp gauge would fluctuate a bit like it was getting hot (not sure if it actually got hot or what). This to me sounded like a possible head gasket problem, but then I noticed I wasnt losing coolant ever. Then one morning I turned the truck to on (truck was completely cold, hadnt been started yet) and the gauge read 260 deg??? Is this some kind of gauge, temp sensor/ sending unit problem? Im not sure how I would find this out. Im trying to get the truck ready to get out of storage this weekend but I want to get this issue taken care of before I start to drive it again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS

The temp sensor is very cheap just replace it and see what happens. Cheap easy troubleshooting step. If it doesn't cure the problem you aren't out even $20.

Located behind alternator, down in intake manifold
1 wire
If the wire somehow shorts to ground it will send
the guage all the way up
