Truck has antifreeze and is running fine. Went to start it this morning and saw that the temperature gauge was not going up. Tried giving the gauge assembly a little tap on the plastic to see if it was just stuck, but it is still not moving. Any idea's what it could be to cause that? A fuse? Temperature sensor anywhere on the engine? No warning lights or anything on the dash lighting up to say there is a problem.

Yes, it sounds like the engine coolant temperature sensor has gone out. Here is a guide to help you see what you are in for when doing the job:

Here is the location for your car next to the thermostat housing.

Check out the diagrams (below).

Please let us know what happens.
