kahall82 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi all,Having low temperature problems and so have changed the thermostat and opened up the heater tap (which was shut/off) to hopefully fix the problem. But now the gauge is playing up after fiddling with the electrics.My question is: does the water temp gauge stay at its temperature with the key off or should it go down to "0" or whatever the lowest temp is? Is stuck at about 75 degree Celcius constantly after fiddling.Also the temp gauge (before fiddling) and oil pressure gauge turn off when the truck has started and the key is turned to on. They will turn back on when you turn the key off!?!Any ideas what is going on?

mowerman Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 it sounds like your guage grounding,try running a wire.from back of guage,and touch it to something steel inside dash..also its hard to get the engines to build up any heat,,without a load...sometimes about 140 is all they will hit..good luck...bob 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19178-water-temp-gauge/#findComment-78461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
