During a normal warm-up, my Temp Gauge jumps right up to pegged when it passes an indicated 168 degrees. She just shoots off the chart way above 260 and stays there. Funny thing is... it doesn't seem hot. Seen it hot before too... my wife drives this one.

This is a '98 LS (192,000+ miles) with a Vortec 5.7, Auto w/OD, AC, 4WD... blue... for what that's worth.

Am I looking at a sensor gone bad, maybe? sending unit?

Need help on this one... All help much appreciated in advance. Thanks
