What surprised me the most was the wide variance between the front and back. My gauge starts at 120 and most times it wouldn't get off of that. Now it comes right up to the proper temperature since being relocated. The gauge is brand new and so is the sender, so they should be accurate. I also know the engine wasn't getting too hot because the puke tank never changes as far as water level and the hoses are fairly cool to the touch, at least you can hold your hand on them and not get burned like in my daily driver.
