You have not proved the gauge right are wrong so lets say its right you have ran it till its up to operating temp you have a cool top hose... That's not good...
If it has a throttle body It may be possible you installed the Intake gasket on backerds... EZ check is to siffer the coolant out of the rad remove the top hose if coolant is still in the thermo neck the gasket is on backerds... If you are still unsure run a wire into the front coolant channel that goes to the head to check for blockage....
Its a beach to bleed all the air out of the system unless you have the tools to do it...
If all that checks out you may have to remove a heater hose to burp the air out...
The last chebby I ran into with the intake gaskets on backerds had been run a few years that way :shock: It was about this time last year and they were complaining of a no heat are poor heat issue (I Think)... I have ran across this were there were no complaints other than I saw issues with the temp gauge that were not normal while working on other issues not related to temp..
I had one you could drive it about 4/5 miles the temp would run up close to hot. Shut it off take a look see no issues (other than the top hose was cool to the touch) start it back up and it would run all day till it cooled down then it would repeat the issue...
