Temp sending unit
Call me crazy but I’ve owned my truck for over a year and the temp gauge has barely moved off cold. After reading on this forum how to troubleshoot to see if it was the gauge or sending unit. I found the the sending unit was indeed bad. So I just replaced it with a new one that I ordered online from Lectric Limited and am happy to say my gauge is working properly and want to say how thankful I am that everyone shares this information for everyone to use.

Re: Temp sending unit
