Installed the Universal Temp Gauge from this web site. Notice while installing that the sensor bulb went clear through the coolant tube that goes from the engine to the radiator hose and touched the other side.
Temp gauge only reads 135 after the thermostat opens up.
Anybody else have this problem and have a fix?
I'm thinking of adding a little gasket material to bring the sensor bulb out a little so as not to touch the metal housing.
I do have the right thermostat.
I'll take the radiator temp as soon as I get an infared thermometer home from work.
But I'm pretty sure the coolant is hotter than 135.
Thanks
