Here's what I always ask guys when they come to my place with an "overheating" issue.


What are you going by for your temperature?


The gauge?

An infrared gun that has taken temps on the inlet and outlet of the radiator to see if there's a temp drop?

Does your "gauge" match the readings of an recent assessment of the motors temp?


WHERE in the motor is the temperature gauge? Head? Block? Near Thermostat?


If the gauge creeps up in stop and go traffic - or at a stop - does the gauge show immediate cooling off if you begin to move? Or does it stay high?



What does the gauge read - say - cruising along at 45 or 50 MPH?
