Temp. Gauge ?
The temp. gauge on my 79 F-350 w/400 is reading to the high end of the normal scale when fully warmed. I checked the coolant temp at 165 degrees,changed sending unit twice(once it was broken, second because of gauge reading) and I even changed the instrument cluster and still get same reading. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Mike.

There are 2 different S/U's
One for the Idiot light & another one for the gauge.
The temp seems low.
I wouldn't go any cooler than a 180* T-stat.
The engine should run around 210-215 with the proper mix of water/coolant.
