Chevrolet Venture Radiator Problem
Just bought van with knowledge of the thermostat needing replaced... bought from the 2nd owner since 80,000 miles... now has 253700... my issues are is that i replaced thermostat drove fine with barely hot heat for about 300 miles... now temp gauge jumps hot to cold, also have had it flushed and a new coolant sensor..drove fine for 50-60 miles and now temp gauge is either extremly high or really low...mild warm heat,,, drives awesome still... getting frustrated...

would that cause my temp gauge to bounce around? im not losing any antifreeze as in intake or a head gasket problem.... would a water pump have any effects???

radiators will cause temp gauges to pendulum.
