still fixing the 3600, went through the gauges, cleaned out the rat nest have all lights and gauges working fine except temp. the temp gauge pegs hot when grounded at the sender, but at operating temp would barely move up about a 1/4 of an inch. so i figured it must be the sender.
put a new sender on and now it slowly moves up from cold to pegged hot after about 20 minutes of warming the engine. i put my hand on radiator it was warm/kinda hot... but cool enough i could keep my hand on it without burning myself. i took cap off and looked in the radiator no steam or boiling water. i had also put a new voltage regulator on the back of the fuel tank when doing alternator repairs.
how do i know i have the right sender?
or
could my water pump not be moving enough water?
thanks,david
