temp

Random question and just wanted to see if anyone else had this happen to them. While driving, the temp gauge on the dash dropped down to just above the cold mark while coming to a stop. Once I started going again from the stop, the temp came back up to normal. It did it 3 separate times on that...

Hey everyone so I was wondering why the temperature gauge on my 1993 Ford Explorer 4.0L 4wd xlt goes to the middle of the gauge aka operating temperature then it goes back down to above cold? I just put a 3rd coolant temperature sending unit it 30 minutes ago because it was fluctuating between...

Hello everyone, an old Ranger guy joining up. Thanks for having me. So, I have a 2002 Ford Ranger. Lately, my temp gauge has been acting strangely. When I first start my truck, the engine temp will be on "C" and cold as usual. Within 5-10 minutes, the temperature has risen all the way up to...

:confused: I have replied to a few post. But never asked a question myself. I can't seem to find the answer to this one. Although I am sure it is on here somewhere else. I have an overhead console, that recently burnt out(but that is a different story, unless you have one for sale...
