Temperature Gauge Issues
The temp gauge will go all the way to hot not all the time but some time it will always move when I turn the key on. Even if the truck has sat all night. A guy said it was the ground but I've cleaned all the grounds are clean and tight. Do you add another ground and if so here?

Morning All. I have a 1999 dodge 3500. Great truck. But the temperature gauge will move to super hot even when the truck has not run all night.
Can someone tell why.

Try a cluster test. Hold the Trip Reset button down, and turn the ignition to "on". (not start) All the gauges should do a full sweep. If the temp gauge doesn't, theres the problem. If the gauge tests good, then you likely have a bad connection somewhere. Does the engine run strange when the gauge freaks out?
