Just another thought here to.

I have ran into this before. The stock gauge in our model trucks may not give a good reading if the temp senor is for that motor and not our year motors. You may want to check that. When I put my TPI motor in the truck it read high all the time. I had to get the sendor out of the old block and install it. It reads just like it should have then.
This may have been covered.
