Check your coolant level.

I checked the level and it was just filled. I am pretty sure the sensor is not working I need to look at it better in the light. I had a panic moment while driving.

I'd guess you have a bad connection somewhere.

I finally got to look at in the light. I pushed the plastic cap a little harder on to the sensor, now my gauge is working normal. I am interested if replacing the wire harness or what should be replaced?

I have to replace my main rear seal. Is it as easy as it sounds. It sounds like it is work and messy but not really hard?

Yeah, it's just time consuming and a pain to get to.

Just looked at the first page. Do you still want to buy 235/75/15?

I am torn about tire's.
I need new ones soon my used ones are thin on the front.
I like the 30 to 31 sized tire there are about 4 sizes in 1% of each other and I am pretty sure will fit. The 235/75 are small. I only drive on the street.
It is all about money

I like being taller. My only 2" lift needs all the help it can get. those 235's look good.
