Hi there -

I just replaced my radiator and the temperature gauge dips below the mid range - at least it’s not running on the hot end.

My question is this:

What could be causing my temp gauge to be in the cooler than normal range?

Your thermostat may be stuck open.

Or the wrong thermostat was installed.
