Gauge reading a little HOT - Advice?

This gauge is reading hotter than I want it to. Other gauges confirm temp. Advice to bring the temp numbers down some? If you look closely, you can see the truck sweating.

That probably was in the shade! But I agree, you should head north.

Air conditioned garage should do the trick.

If the AC is working you're GTG.

100+ degrees is getting to be the norm around here.

First time EVER, I have seen the overhead hit 100 up here in Saskscratchyerown. Humidex of 105 too.

I think what you need is a sprinkler system inside the cab. I had to put one in my truck because of the George Foreman Center Console Grill.

Unreal. Not that hot here. Mid 80s most of the days lately. Aside from the Tornado action (small in comparison to the Mid west) last night, not that much excitement.

if George Jones were to see that, I'm sure he would say that it was reading hotter than a $2 pistol
