HAVE A HIGH MILAGE 1992 F150 WITH TEMP GAUGE OUT. ALTERNATE TEMP GAUGE INSTALLED AND NOT REGISTERING OR WORKING. ENGINE RUNS FINE, BUT HOSE DOES'NT SEEM TO BE AS TIGHT AS IT SHOULD. HOSE IS WARM BUT NOT HOT. HEATER IN CAB BLOWS COLD AIR. COULD MY THERMISTAT BE STUCK MAKING THE ENGINE RUN COLDER THAN IT SHOULD.

Yes, it is possible. You can remove it and place it in boiling water over stove and use a meter capable of hot temps. To see if it is opening correclty. Should open around 170F.

Thanks for using 2CarPros. Com!
