temp sending unit?
greetings!!!
this is an awsome site, too bad i just found out about it. we've had the truck for 3 yrs or so. we've had it serviced a number of times at the dealership. i should've consulted this site before allowing those jerks to mess with our truck... anyways...
where is the temp sending unit located? the gauge fluctuates from normal to full(overheat). i'm guessing its a loose connection or something.
thanks guys

There are 2 sending units close together. The one for your temp
gauge has a single wire connector, this is the one you want to
change. The other sending unit has 2 wires, this is the coolant
sensor for the PCM.....

Did you find the thermostat housing? The sensors should be
screwed into the intake next to the thermostat housing....
