This is great info all, thank you.

I am not 100% sure but guessing I have the OEM sending unit. Is there any way to tell for sure? Normally my gauge is right at the quarter mark, once things have run long enough to warm up, even when starting it and letting it idle for a bit. But, if that's 225 and above "normal" I need to confirm my sending unit and temp.

I think I will do as Matt suggested and measure the temp at the thermostat housing to see where I'm at to compare against my gauge reading and go from there. Gotta go get a temp reader but will post back findings soon.

Thank you!
