Temperature gauge goes to 210 immediately when I start my truck.

Asked by Sara Jun 15, 2023 at 02:32 PM about the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I had to have a new water pump and radiator put in my 2011 Chevrolet
Silverado. Since I had these put in my temperature gauge goes to 210 as soon
as I crank my truck is this normal? Before I had these parts put in it would
gradually go up to 210 as the truck ran.

That's a symptom of a malfunctioning engine coolant temperature sending unit or sensor. Or you might have just blown a fuse for this.
