94 D21 vg30e temp
Hey all. Only had this truck a couple of weeks and it is pretty cold old but my temp gauge seems to always be really low to me. Like if it were a gas gauge I'd say I have a quarter tank or less all the time. Should it not be in the middle of gauge somewhere? Like a half a tank?

Well, are you getting enough heat inside the cab? If not,, then maybe time to replace the thermostat, as it may not be closeing properly.dicedog wrote:Hey all.

If you are getting plenty of heat in the cab,, and the engine is running ok, not sure that I would do anything,, unless someone says different.
On the d21 4cyl ka24e engine,, the temperature was about in the middle or just a tad below middle way's. On my '13 VQ40DE V6, the Temperature needle is also about 1/2 way,, when up to operateing temp.

Hey Rubble. Nope heat. In cab is fine. Lucy is not without her issues but running ok. I have a slight power loss at about 2500 rpm drops to maybe 24 then comes right back. Can be a bit sluggish off the line now and then bogs out hit the gas a bit more and she's fine. I do have exhaust work to do Y pipes on order leak in front of muffler. Get that fixed up and see how she is. If same I will do rotor distributor plugs and wires. Fuel filter I'm told is newer but may change it as well. I did read here somewhere these engines run best running a bit hot. Mine for sure is not running hot thought maybe its time for stat change

Well, if you are getting plenty of Cab Heat(That's what I meant above), then it seem's to me, that it's not that urgent, unless someone else says different.dicedog wrote:Hey Rubble. Nope heat.

At some point, you'll probably want to replace the thermostat,, which someone may have allready done,, and put in a colder thermostat than OE. Since we are in the middle of Winter,, Summer would be a better time,, seem's to me to see how the Temperature Gauge is doing.
With Lucy being her name,, that mean's it's a Girl Truck,, and we all know,, that can complicate thing's, just by gender alone...
