"I was told that a gauge replacement would cost about $100,..."

If this is an accurate recollection of what you were told, steer clear of this tech. The problem is not solved by "gauge replacement" and that is knowledge that the most wet-behind-the-ears 240 tech should already have. However, being 3rd hand, this phrase may have undergone some generalization.

Basically, if the gauge moves when you slap the dash above it, you have the same problem every 86-93 240 has, and its cure is what JFH suggested and I have described here: Notes on the Temp Faker - Or That Temp Comp Board

Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.
