I had asked about my temp gauge because mine doesn't move at all
One way to figure out which isn't working is to unplug the wire from the top of the sender, and then ground it somewhere on the engine or firewall.
Then while you are doing that have someone inside the cab and watch the gauge. If the needle goes up when you ground it, then it's probably the sender, if it doesn't move then it could be the gauge.
