Dakota Digital Erratic Temp Gauge - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have the VHX system in my 68 - sensor mounted in pass side head rear port. Put about 200 miles on the truck so far. The gauge seems to act normal now and again. More often than not, it will be right in the 180 range and then peg to the right and back to 180 repeatedly. Wiring is all good. Wondering if this leans towards a bar sensor, not an ideal setup with the adaptor for the 12MM adaptor fitting, or residual air in the system. Nothing leads me to believe anything is getting hot. Fans work fine and respond and desired temp, check radiator temp, not puking any fluid into overflow.

Anyone else have issues with DD temp sensor behavior?
