Looking for help.
I have a 4.5 liter JD diesel.
Temp gauge was reading 240 but hoses were warm to touch and thermal gun was reading 120 top of radiator and 75 bottom of rad.
No temps over 120 after 30 minutes of running taken at different parts of the engine.
I decided to change the sender and gauge. Gauge only moved to 100 after 15 minutes. I popped wire off sender and grounded it out and gauge moved to hot.
I reinstalled old gauge and it did not move. I then reinstalled new gauge and if also didnt move. When grounded it out it did not move. So right now I have no temp gauge.
Stumped.
