I guess some time before summer I will swap the thermostat for a 180* one so the gauge reads correct. I took these of the temperature gauge and hose while the truck was idling. I had drove it and it was good and warm. Sitting in the yard it looks fine but I'd like the neddle back down to the hash mark.

The old thermostat was 180*. It was always on the hash mark.
The new hose for a dodge Ram truck is what I bought for it and cut the piece off of it in my hand. It look so much better than that old wire hose that fits all.
