Temp gauge

[djschick88]

Temp gauge comes up less then a quarter of the way then after a while just dropes back off when the truck is well warm.

I have replaced the thermostat i dont know what else i could try so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yea, but....
You say the truck is still warm.
Is it just as hot as it was last week or last month?
T-stat is not a problem if the engine warms up (to the touch) and it doesn;t opverheat.
Look for the temperature sending unit to have a ;loose or broken wire, replace it they are cheap.
.
Just make sure you change the one for the gauge, and the store gives you the correct replacement part.

That definitely makes sense. I'll have to try all that thanks.
