If the temperature gauge on your 1999 Dodge Durango fluctuates but the car isn't overheating, it may indicate a faulty temperature sensor or a malfunctioning gauge. It could also be normal behavior if the engine is under varying loads, causing temperature changes. Additionally, check the coolant level and ensure there are no air pockets in the cooling system. If the issue persists, consider having a mechanic diagnose it to rule out any underlying problems.
It means look at your gauges. Something is wrong! Does your temperature gauge show that it is overheating? Is the oil presure where it should be? Check your fluids.
Both.
if the temperature goes up on ur gauge but it is not overheating means ur thermostat is no good
Overheating due to low coolant, inoperative fan, restricted radiator, etc.Overheating due to low coolant, inoperative fan, restricted radiator, etc.
Is vehicle actually overheating? Could be a bad temperature sending unit or gauge Check temperature with a thermometer If thermostat does not open vehicle will overheat
The gauge on the far right side of the gauge cluster is your engine temperature gauge. The normal operating temperature is at the half-way mark. If the needle raises above the 3/4 mark then the car is overheating. A light will come on also if it begins to overheat.
You will need to run an oil pressure test with a pressure gauge.
Engine is overheating, faulty gauge, faulty temp sensor......
A temperature gauge is used simply to monitor the temperature of something. They are most commonly used in vehicles to monitor oil and engine temperature to prevent any damage caused by the vehicle overheating.
get a new temperature sensor.
If there is no temperature gauge on a motorcycle, the way to tell if the motorcycle is overheating is by smell or feel. If the bike smells like radiator hot water, it might be overheating. If the legs of the operator start to become so warm that it is uncomfortable to ride, it might be overheating.
The temperature sensor is malfunctioning
