Once it arrives at that position it stays steady regardless of 32 degrees or 115 degrees outside. I have a 180 degree thermostat.
If I park the truck and come back 10 or 20 minutes later and start it, the gauge begins at 1/2 with the needle straight up, and within about 15 seconds goes down to the pictured reading.
Are you running a 195 thermostat? That's where mine runs wirh a 195, I'm running a 180 now and the gauge runs a little closer to the 1/4 mark.
