mines doesn't seem to be working. its stays on C most of the time but after about an hour of driving it moves a little above the C line. What might seem to be the problem?
Temp sensor not Reading properly. Gauge no working. U running coolant? Or just straight up water? On my old truck the temp sensor had all kinds of calcium build up.
mine was running just above the line of "C" when I brought it home - went to replace the thermostat and found that previous owner had removed the innards of the thermostat - put in a new one with the rubber seal around it and it now runs normal now.
during the cooler months, my truck will run right next to C. during the recent summer months, i've been at 1/8-1/4ths gauge, maybe 3/8ths when using the A/C or highway driving, or both, reaching past the 50% mark when I am at a full stop with the A/C on
This is where mine sits all day long, 95f ambient. my non-contact thermometer says it's about 200-205 at the top hose. http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c... Pickup/?action=view¤t=0317011757-1.jpg
Im not even running a fan and mine wont go over a 1/4. except at traffic light, but never get to half.
when you're moving without A/C and driving normal, it should stay around that 1/8ths and 1/4th area. usually when i stop it starts going up if i had A/C on. I need to get electric fans. and winter... it's barely on or over C.
