This sounds bizarre, but if its not, please explain to me. I've been dealing with my temp gauge pushing the hot-side. The gauge passes the "M" in NORM and gets hot enough for the idiot light "check gage" to turn on. I've replaced the sender sensor, the temp sensor and gauge, didn't fix it! The radiator is less than a year old (less than 10k miles) with no leaks nor trapped air.
This past weekend I changed my battery because I had added an amp, cd player, woofer, and more powerful speakers some time ago. Anyway, the battery was 3 years old and cranking slowly for the last 3-4 months so I replaced it with one with more CCA's (don't remember right now)
Well, ever since, the temp gauge is behaving! no "check gage" light and needle is staying below the "M" in NORM running cooler (according to the stock gauge).
make sense???
