can anybody show me a pic of there stock coolant temp gauge with a 180 t-stat installed i dont think mine is reading right and i installed a new temp sender. mine leaves the 130 mark and goes a little past the first mark but not much.

 

Mine is really low too, like barely above the lowest mark, I have a 160* thermostat though, need to go back to 180*

 

thats about right

 

I have a 180 stat, new radiator, and new water pump. Mine runs halfway between the first mark and 210. My truck is always right at 160-180. I think yours is fine. I would rather mine run cool and maybe even a little rich, than get hot and tear things up.

 

i have a 180. mine sits on the "2" of the 200 mark
