water temp ?

[tubzz]

i put a water temp gauge in.i put the sencor in the water pump below the t-stat.i tow my camper (35ft TT) back from bdp's and it was running at 210*.
then i had a rocker break on it going to work the next day.so i haven't realy got to drive the truck with the new gauge in.i drove it today and the gauge was at 208 to 210* empty.i have a 203*t-stat.
does this sound right with truck running this hot.the dash needle is running around the R. i just think this is on the warm side but like i said i just got it hook up and just wanted what evry body else is running that has a gauge.and were is your sencer located?

I dont have a temp gauge Terry, but 210 doesnt sound all that hot to me . Dont even begin to believe the in dash needle.

That sounds right. Hot would be in the 240° F range, or hotter.
