could the themostat in the cooler pump be bad and block the flow of fluids?

im gonna use the sct and check the temps today and try to find a new bypass filter

wow no comments?? must pissed ppl off

well after sitting for 3 hrs or more it stil reads 170..so im guessing a bum gauge

Could be a bad gauge. Could be a bad ground. How long after sitting overnight does it take to read 250

IMPO I would get another gauge to check against it. With the price of transmission rebuilds it is cheap insurance to me.

about 5 miles of mild driving
the sender is its own ground

i got livelink to work on the sct and it red 114.9 while my autometer was reading 210
i have 12v to the gauge and when i test it with the volt meter to the sender and the power term i get 1.39v when i test it from the power term to a real grnd i get 12v so i used the grnd term on the gauge too but it still reads way off so i will see when the new gauge gets in today
