Notice today the need just sits on the bottom, way below the 130 mark. Could this be a sending unit? I can't remember where it's located???? Lower intake manifold? All other gauges work fine.

The sending unit is in the driver's side lower intake manifold; it has a single wire with a push on connector. Turn the ignition to Run and ground the wire against the engine block and see if the gauge indication changes..

Ugh. Now track a new one down. . . Is there a way to know if one for a truck 5.0 would work? Not sure anyone carries 91 5.0 parts anymore.

A new temperature sending unit fixed that for me. They aren't too expensive. I think I got mine for $15 off LMR.
