antifreeze temps below normal
had my water pump replaced a few weeks ago. ever since, the temp gauge never gets up to normal. if i let the truck idle the needle will approach the normal range, but when i'm driving (in cold temps) the needle stays at the low end. i'm guessing that means a bad thermostat, staying open & letting the antifreeze circulate through the radiator, but i'm curious why it would happen at the same time the water pump went. any ideas?

antifreeze temps below normal
hey on my 1990 F-150 I had it did the same thing but my
temp gauge would be really high i mean off the gauge and it stayed like that for 5 years, one time i hit the dashboard and it went down to normal so it was cool to show my friends that lol...... then i sold it and never had any problems....i told the guy i sold it to and he seems like he didn't care...but you might want to have it checked out just in case
