My dash temp gauge is staying on cold. I have just finished replacing the temp sensor, (on the side of motor) temp switch (near thermostat), and thermostat. I even tested the plug by bypassing the sensor and the temp gauge went all the way to the right. The motor gets hot but I noticed that I can easily squeeze the coolant hose and there is no resistance. I am at a loss. Can anyone help? 1998 Chevrolet C1500 5.7L Silverado package 86,000 original miles.
@seanpsills remember that your gauge/sender does not read hot air. So if you do not have enough coolant or if your waterpump does not work properly or if you have large amount of air in the system, It will not work properly. so top off the coolant level., bleed the system (including your heater core and then check again.
