Well my road test revealed the same bad results as before. Sender is no good, it did get to just over 140f on the gauge. My ifra red gun revealed 195f on the exterior pan/sender location. I know there is a good ground, I know there is a good sender wire, I know there is a good gauge, I know there is no teflon or thread sealer, I know the sender is sitting in the
oil at the bottom of the pan. I'll return this sender and try sender number 3. What a pain.
