Coolant temp gauge
Trying to figure out why my temp gauge is not working. I replaced both sensors, no go. It doesn't even move, except for maybe twice on really long hauls. What should I be looking for?
 Really worry-some not to know what my trucks doing

Aftermarket guage, or the factory one?

Sounds like the gauge head has failed. The temp gauge and oil "gauge" are on one panel, that can be replaced with a boneyard part, and IIRC, LMC has it.

Would it still move occasionally if it failed? plus my OP gauge works. I have a parts truck at my shop in Cali, if thats what I gotta do

The oil gauge will still work; separate wiring even though they're in the same panel. It's possible that it's a connection, where the panel plugs into the cluster, or where the wire plugs into the sensor, etc. But if you have a parts truck, it'd be worth popping in that panel from the spare cluster.

Take the wire from your temp sensor and touch it to ground while you have someone watch the gauge. If it moves up to the high range then you have a bad sender.

Maybe the tstat is stuck open and the engine never reaches operating temperature. Just a thought.

Hmm never thought of that. How's the heat output from the heater?
