Temp gauge min-max range for ecotec 3.8L.

[SLIfox]

Will be changing the thermostat and wanted to know the gauge range (between C, mid and H) for reference.

When driving a decent distance, in hot or cold, the gauge will only JUST come off the Cold.

*Understandable if the C is NOT 0° as the car would have to heat up some to reach min temp on gauge as an example.
Pic is similar to the one here. Tia

Mine went quarter to half

Might need a new temp sensor, should sit just under halfway, just get the standard 82 degrees not the hotter one.

Make sure the temp wire is connected if its off it will show cold if you ground it then straight to hot.

Has that car really done 980,000 k's?

I would also like to know. Quite the effort if it is...
