hey guys quick question with the gauge for my coolant. every time i turn on the car it seems that the gauge hardly moves at all, if it even does move.it always stays on the cool side. i know i had to replace the radiator this winter because it was cracked and was leaking a lot, but whats the deal with my gauge? is it my gauge or do other people have this problem too?
 
common problem. the stock gauge is almost as lame as the stock oil pressure gauge. my stocker reads about 35* cooler than my aftermarket gauge. i.e., my stocker reads about 135 when it is actually running 175-180. same when hotter. the aftermarket shows 210, while the stocker is stuck below halfway.
get a good gauge, IMHO.
good luck.
