My water temprature guage reads about 120 when the ambient temprature is really 95. Is it possible to loosen the nut on the back side and adjust it? I wasn't sure if you could and didn't want to mess up a guage.

I would check it in boiling water and see if it's correct at that temperature before I messed with it. Don't know if that adjustment will work or not. I've never noticed that on another gauge.
D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time:D

I tried your suggestion and put the end of the gauge in a pot of water and it came up where it was suppose to be right when it started boiling. I think I'll leave it alone. Thanks for the help.
