Re: Temperature Gauge

Have you driven the truck to see if the gauge moves? You might have an air pocket at the sensor that keeps it from reading an accurate temperature. Or you may have a stuck open thermostat. Driving the truck while keeping an eye on the gauge may help you determine if it's just air since the coolant will be circulating more at higher engine speeds. I'd expect the gauge to run more in the 1/3 to 2/3 range after idling for that amount of time. Two minutes at 2000 rpms after a cold start would yield a reading close to where your photo shows.
