[QUOTE="txgunsntrucks, post: 1451693, member: 39224"] The temp sensor is not messed up. These trucks are designed to work this way, same as many other vehicles. it's just a bit stupid. it seems that some here don't quite understand that these vehicles are made to function in a specific manner based on not only the outside temperature but also the temperature that the climate control is set to. Two totally different things. just so happens that when the outside thermometer functions as it does it can become an issue. Want to test it? start your truck in the cool morning. run it but do not drive it. make a note of the temperature. leave it all day until the temperature changes (at least 10 degrees is best) outside. start your truck up, but do not drive it. Bet that temperature for the outside gauge stays at what it was, no matter how long it sits and runs. pretty simple demonstration that these were designed for the outside thermometer to engage only after being driven at x speed for x amount of seconds. usually not an issue unless you drive to work. then use your truck for work all day at a very low speed, then drive back home much later in the day after the temperature has changed a bit. (like it does in san antonio). just yesterday I go to work and it's 37 out. was 67 when I left work. temp gauge stayed at 37 all day until the drive home. [/QUOTE]
