1986 M998, original gauges....
Radiator flushed, new thermostat.
Temperature gauge never went above 160 deg. on the gauge. Cooling fan would engage on warm days.
Replaced the gauge, but still not above 160.
Replaced the temp sending unit, now it goes up to about 215-220 and stays in that range, so I assume the sender was the problem.
The cooling fan has not kicked in however the weather is cool here now @ 45-50 deg.
My question is this seems too high of a temperature reading on the gauge...... I can assume everything is fine and the new reading is due to gauge inaccuracy. Haven't changed anything else.
Thoughts????????
