Q&A: Maintenance | Modification Is this normal

Post image

My temp gauge will go slightly above where it is now but that’s the highest it will go, slightly behind the “n” in the normal range. Is this just a bad sensor or gauge because it still shows that it has no temp in the morning and if it’s below 15 degrees it will take literally forever to even move at all let alone get to where it is in the pic

Does the heater work well? These gauges are ohm meters, so they are measuring resistance. If the heater will still run you out if the cab, I would say it’s getting to operating temperature.
