Have you checked your dash ground, body ground, and engine ground to make
sure they are ok? Don't use any teflon tape or sealer between the sending
unit and the block or it won't work right. It needs a good wire and a good
ground to work correctly. If you check the continuity between the body of
the sending unit and the body of the truck with the engine running I bet it
will be too high. It should be less than 4 ohms.

Subject: [oletrucks] Heat Guage
Well gang I got my first trophy Sunday at a local show felt good
only the third time I have had it out, the first two times were at
cruise nights,
But now that I have it on the road,I have another problem.
I have put in three heat gauges with different results from
each I checked the gauge on the bench with another sending
unit and got it to work fine, I have checked the sending unit
in the truck with a conductivity meter and it checks fine.
one gauge would stay on the cold side then every once in awhile
go to hot, the last gauge when the sending unit heats just a little
it goes all the way to hot.
But the engine runs very cool.
Anyone ever had this happen before???
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
