![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
My son has a 98 Camaro V6 and his temperature gauge reads 30+ degrees too hot. I verified this by hooking an OBDII scanner up and when reading about 240 on the factory gauge its actually running between 205 and 210, like I suspected.
Does anyone know how to correct or replace the temperature gauge?
Not really interested in putting an aftermarket gauge in the car.
TIA,
Jay

Probably just a bad gauge. I wouldn't worry about it if you know its not overheating. If you want, 6 cylinder gauge clusters are reasonably easy to find in boneyards. Just make sure you get one out of a 98 because the 99+ clusters run off a digital signal and 97-98 run off an analog signal.
