Hey everyone, this is my first post on here.
I purchased a 1997 Chevy Silverado K1500 with around 229,000 at the time. Over the past 6 months, I've put about 5,000 miles on it, and it's been a great truck!
However, I'm having a little issue with the temperature gauge. It keeps fluctuating all over the place. It will go from 130 degrees up to around 230 degrees Fahrenheit, back down repeatedly, and won't hold a stable temp.
I've flushed the radiator, changed the air core motor in the gauge cluster with a refurbished one, changed the two coolant temp sensors, and changed the thermostat. Nothing has solved the issue. It still does the same thing.
I'm wondering if anyone would advise me on what this issue could be and if the truck is still safe to drive like this. Thank you!
