SIII registering hot?
Okay-
1973 88, 2.25 petrol running on 88 octane.
Gauge shows the truck hot, like on fire, within five minutes of startup. Outside temperature doesn't matter. Two weeks ago when it was 30F outside it behaved the same as it did today when it was 48F.
Temperature sender was replaced. No joy. After the truck has heated up I can see the fluid moving around inside the radiator, but it's only just luke warm ... I can swirl my finger around in it. The upper radiator hose gets warm, but the return hose on the bottom doesn't. Even after it's been running for a bit I can still reach my in the engine bay and it doesn't feel hot.
Any ideas guys? Everything else on the to do list since I picked her up has been taken care of, but this one ... this one burns me more than the time I busted all my knuckles trying to start her with the hand crank!
