Just got my 87 2.9 running again and when I start it up stone cold engine timeperature, the stock temp gauge goes up pretty high (but not into the red) before it drops back down to about the middle or a bit less. My previous engine, sending unit, thermostat, fan, water pump etc, didn't do this. I'm still using the same wiring and cab from before. Wires look good and are securely attached to the sending unit on the engine. Any recomendatons on what to do/check first?
