First off, thank you guys for helping me with all this. I'm new to all this so it's a learning process.

Here is a pic of the drivers side, is that also a temp sensor?

Yes it is and I’m pretty sure that is for your ECM and most likely your gauges are using it also. The one in the radiator is for the fan controller. Do you have an Entropy fan controller? Dakota Digital gauges with BIM module on the bus for the gauges?

Honestly I don't know if I have Entropy's fan controller. I had a builder install the motor, ecu, etc. but he's no longer in business and we've parted ways. I'm actually running New Vintage gauges that I had custom made to fit in the Gen 5 Camaro console.

Ok then maybe your gauges are using that sender which would be wrong location for a gauge sender and should certainly not be reading 250 degrees if that is the case.

Maybe post some pics of your controllers etc. Entropy fan controller looks like this. Looking at your sender it is not the Entropy sender.

Have your gauges ever read lower or always 250?

It will read fine. Certainly better than in the radiator. But if it is reading 250 in the radiator then simply moving it will not fix that. Something else is wrong imho.

You should get a code reader for the bus and see what the ECM is reading for temperature as suggested earlier.

The Nu Vintage sender is definitely what I have and it's shallow so when placed in the M12 -1.5 it never comes out the other side. Is that fine, or does it need to extend outward past the tip to read properly?

And the gauge has always read that high since I had it up and running.

Is your IR temperature meter reading Celsius? Probably a dumb question but....
