This has botherd me forever, my truck and many of my friends with ford pickups. Do them engine temp gagues really work? lol Reason i ask, ill do 90-100 for a good while and that damn temp gague never freaking moves! Its ither at cold or operation tmp. I have noticed this
so has most of my friends. Did that with my friends chevy and his gauge moved, not much but it did move some!
Just wondering

90-100 for a good while?

You've got more issues than a temp guage, sounds like the nut between the seat and the steering wheel needs a little adjustment.

good answer. however, using a scanguage, my engine temp only varies about 2 degrees. winter, summer towing up steep hills, does not matter.

Ok thats all i was wondering just something thats been on my mind.

running @ 90-100 mph, your air velocity is higher into the grille, thru the radiator & engine bay. so, this is giving you more air to cool things down. imo, the fords have been better at keeping their cool than others, esp with the tow pkgs installed.

My Gryphon usually shows around 190. I've seen 202 and it hit 204 once doing 85 up a steady grade... but went away once on flat land.
