The gauge somes as a meter assy and it seldom fails. I would suggest checking the sending unit and ground circuits first. The ground circuit is behind the front headlights on either side of vehicle.

After flushing my radiator
i replaced it with full strength coolant. I mixed it then I later then drove it. It stared to overheat. I checked for leaks nothing. I tested to antifreeze with a tester. It tested at 127F could that be the problem, and does having air in my motor have somthing to do with it too.

Lets try bleeding it 1st don't work comeback-

BLEEDING COOLING SYSTEM

Always bleed air from cooling system after replacing coolant. Set heater for maximum heat. Remove radiator cap. Loosen drain plug and remove drain bolt (if equipped) from engine block. Drain coolant reservoir. Fill coolant reservoir to MAX mark with 50/50 water-coolant mixture. Loosen bleed bolt and fill radiator up to base of filler neck. Close bleed bolt when coolant flows out without bubbles. Tighten bleed bolt. With radiator cap removed, start and operate engine to normal operating temperature. Add coolant if necessary and check for leaks.
