Re: Can temperature gauge be adjusted?
On my gauge the needle came off and I couldn’t find it. My father in law had an extra so I put it in and the needle wouldn’t move off below cold. I traced the circuits and didn’t find any problems. I checked the temp sending unit and noted that the ohms were going down as the engine warmed up. 1700 ohms cold and 445 warm. After messing with it for a couple of days I was going to a guys house that works on these old trucks and the gauge started working. Now the gauge stays about 1/4 inch under half way. I did notice when I shut the truck off and restarted it the needle stays under the cold line until I rev the motor then it slowly climbs to 1/4 inch under half way.
