How does the temp gauge on a Silverado work?

The temp. gauge fluctuates constantly between normal and 210^ in cool weather (40^ & below). Also during accleration it will rise to 210^ and drop back down, never staying at a constant temp. It constantly moves between normal and 210^, exempt during summer time it stays steady. I replaced the t-stat 3 times, having no affect.

Why are my dash gauges flickering in my Silverado Sierra?

Yah, it is the common problem with 2003-2006 trucks. The instrument clusters are bad in them. There are a bunch of outfits that will refurbish and warrant them for a little over $100. I would contact them with your symptoms and let them (or another outfit) tell you if they can help you out.

Why does my Silverado Sierra have vibration issues?

Either the tire/wheel assemblies have excessive radial force variation, the rear driveshaft (propshaft) is out of balance or the right side engine mount needs to be shimmed 3 mm. Those are the only vibration issues that I have seen with a K2XX truck. For the money they are asking for these vehicles, they should not have issues like this.

Where is the temp sensor on a GM Truck?

Replace the “temp switch”. It’s on the right side of the block, in between the exhaust headers, it’ll have a single green wire going to it from past the alternator. They cost like $20, and it’s an easy replacement. Be sure to get the “temp SWITCH” and NOT the “temp SENSOR”.
