Two of my trucks had the metal line break where it goes into the condenser. The latest one was fine until I touched it, I looked on line they re about 150 new.

Well no, sending unit is bad. I meant the water temp gauge never moved, even after an hour of driving.

Beast has been out of commission for a couple days... Had the throttle body and plenum off to clean, cleaned MAF and did the Big 5 wire upgrade and added a fuse block, coolant flush and painted the wiper cowl and wiper arms. lol I've been busy

Crap. Jumped the compressor and it smoked the clutch, so the compressor is locked up. Getting some new parts for it so hopefully next week it'll be working again if I get time to put it all on

My temp gauge used to run up to 3/4 till I flushed coolant and replaced the radiator. Now it barely moves if at all no matter how long I drive it. I'm pretty certain I dont have a thermostat in it but havent had the chance to check it. If you go from a jacked up cooling system to one thats 100 percent a missing thermo could be your gremlin.

I haven't messed with the cooling, here shortly I'm flushing it though. But the gauge don't move at all, I think the gauge is bad but I don't really care

The sender for the gauge is $7. New gauge from a junkyard (will get a new volt gauge too) ran me ten bucks. Still haven't discovered where the sensor goes lol but what I thought was a gauge problem was an air bubble. When it passed the sender, it would go flat. Then come back when the bubble passed
