Crazy temp gauge

[thehunterooo]

I would take it for a ride going somewhere else, about how long do you have to drive until it heats up. Are you changing elevations a lot? Also how many miles are you at now?

I do not think we have had a bad temp gauge on here yet (at least what I have seen, they seem to be very durable), not to say there could be an issue with it here. Just some weird symptoms.

Itll do it driving other places too, just used the work reference for one of the symptoms. No drastic elevation changes, and its sporratic timing wise. Sometimes it'll do it once, sometimes a few times. Its coming up on 120k now. My thinking with the water pump is that worn fins could be creating a sporadic circulation problem, but am kinda baffled. Why I reached out to the forum before tearing into it. What has me questioning the water pump, is when the needle hits the H and stays momentarily, I don't get a warning or limp mode, car acts normal.
