My temp gauge in my 91 245 has been working fine, or so I thought. I decided to do the little hack of removing the temperature compensator board, and jumped the #1 and #3 pins... and now the temp gauge actaully does something. Whe I am in slow moving traffic the gauge goes kinda up a bit... and when I am going at a good rate of speed the thing is a little bit below center. And most of all, if I turn the heat on full and turn the blower on full, the gauge drops pretty good. Overall I recommed everybody does this to there instrument panel, the gauge is soo much quicker to respond. It doesn't have a huge delay, which can be very bad in some cases, where it can almost be too late to "un-*uck" the problem.
