temp gauge prob
my temp guage started acting up last week. the gauge went full hot. so i replaced the sending unit in the head, no change. I disconnected the electrical wire to sender, and the gauged dropped to the middle. i then pulled the gauge cluster and ran new wire from sender to gauge, and again gauge went full hot. I assume the prob is the gauge itself, is that correct? can i fix the gauge by itself or do i need a whole new cluster?
thanks matt |

Re: temp gauge prob
Each gauge is separate.

Re: temp gauge prob
Went through a similar time a couple of months ago. Finally replaced the oem electrical gauge with a mechanical one.
Yet if I knew then what I know now I would have started with one of these or one like it. http://www.stu-offroad.com/prodrev/thermo/thermo-1.htm Now I have one in the tool box after that experience!  Mark

Re: temp gauge prob
classicparts.com or lmctruck.com would have it. We probably have some vendors here on the forums who have them as well.
