You, sir, may be right on target. We just returned from a ride in the truck (about 50 miles, mostly interstate). The truck ran fine, no starving for gas symptom, no dying symptom. Aboiut 3/4 of the way back, the needle on the temperature gauge moved from slightly left of center to slightly right of center and remained slightly right of center for the balance of the trip. I have no explanation for this and your suggestion of a bad gauge temp sensor seems reasonable. I do believe the gauge temp sensor has been replaced but it was several years ago. Is there any way to test the gauge temp sensor or must it just be replaced and see if that solves the problem? Thank you for the help.
