The gauge on my truck starts at 75 then half way is 100 then the red zone is 125.

Thanks
Brian
You should first check truck actual running tempt.
Should be around 195-200 degrees depending on stat.
Then see if the gauge is reading actual tempt.
Where are you getting the 75-100-125 readings and what are they in?
