Engine oil temp gauge operation

[WA 2 FST]

Just wondering what people are seeing as far as temps under normal cruising.

I honestly think my factory gauge is not working, but I have no experience since this truck is brand new to me.

I figured ~180 would be about right... that's what my Vette runs at during normal cruising after a good warm-up.

The gauge on the SRT-10 hasn't gotten above 150^, and appears to be stuck in that position.

200 until I changed the t-stat and added an oil cooler, 160 now.

if the gauge doesn't move at all, (on or off)the gauge is bad.

If I'm cruising. Once I'm on it for a decent length of time, it will hit 200-210.

That's what it sounds like.

It's probably not worth a trip to the dealer just for that... but its still under warranty (in-service date was 8/06), so I've got some time.

Thanks for the prompt response guys!
