Hello, I would like to resurrect this post
I am having same issue with temp spikes just like Maddog had
Please help!
It will drive great, get up to 220 and hold
When I turn the truck off, and immediately start and rev a little, it will drop down to 180
I checked the temp gauge in a cup of boiling water against a thermometer and the gauge checks out
