RE: temp sensor
How is your radiator? If its got alot of junk inside, it could be clogging up. Is it still getting really hot then cooling down, and back and forth? or is it just getting hot and staying hot?

RE: temp sensor
Since you haven't checked it yet, go ahead and look at the water pump. I have seen pumps the looked fine, but the chemicals in the water had over time eaten away most or all the impeller blades. They don't move much water with no impeller, and the result was just about what you are describing.

pretty qiuck i can see it moving up or down.and now i think it is the gauge cause when my truck was running i got in it and slammed the door shut the gauge moved down so i hit the dash and it moved down some more. so i just bought the gauge and i'm going to go put it in i will let you guys know what happens.

RE: temp sensor
What you have a external gauge, which maens that it will needto be mounted out side the cluster, typically most (if not all) external gauges don't hook up to the warning light, Are you instructions asking you to?
