temp gauge
On my 5.3 swap my stock temp gauge is reading hot. Is there a resistor that can be put in the gauge to get the temp in the middle of the gauge. Has anyone else ran into this?

Re: temp gauge
no...but 1st are you positive your motor isn't running warm and that its reading wrong? Did you fill it/top it off (motor) from the top radiator hose?

Re: temp gauge
