having problems with my temp gauge for a while now. The stock one went some time ago, (sometime after I badly overheated.) I had an aux one from auto meter that was installed when i bought it and it started reading high, around 200-10 a few months ago. I figured this was still in a safe range and expected a little rise during the summer. However, that gauge now read to its max, around 280 after driving about a mile from a cold start (ie: overnight). I know that there is no way this isnt right, ill stop after a few miles and the radiator is hardly hot to the touch. The coolant isnt boiling at all, not the slightest. I can even stick me finger in it (dont try this at home kids 
) Any ideas why this is happening? Also, where is the stock sender location so i can replace it. On my stock gauge the needle just lays where it would if power was off, so I assume the sender is bad, but not the gauge itself.
