1983 c10 Silverado Temp Gauge Problem
I have a problem with the temp gauge.
When the truck starts, the gauge goes right to the middle, then after warmed up, gauge drops. Could it be a wiring problem? Thermostat is working. Please advise - any help is appreciated. Also, where is a good repair book for this truck? Thanks! Bodabing

One year online sub.
http://www.alldata.com/products/diy/index.html Your local auto parts places have haynes and chilton books. Ebay has a lot of books. Check your tempt gauge sending unit to start with. MT

Re: 1983 c10 Silverado Temp Gauge Problem
I think you have one of two things going on here.
1. You could have a bum gauge. 2. You may have the sending unit for a dummy light instead of a gauge

move the temp gauge wire and sensor around under the hood. It may be loose or corroded.
