i was breaking the 4.6 engine in and the temp on it is between 90 and 110

after the break i was driving the truckin it got to 110 and 120 shouldnt it be

around 200 ,250. i dont now why
 
no i change the batteries in it its good i put the temp gun on the head sink

and it shows 120 ish
 
Are you taking the reading down at the glow plug, or up at the top?

It should be around 215-220, no higher than 245 F at the glow plug.

Another thought... could it be in Celcius and not Farenheit mode? If it's in Celcius, that sounds about in the neck of the woods you'd want.
 
i take the reading at the top of the headsink, i will check for that on the temp gauge and see what happends

nope its on Farenheit i just can't figure it out
 
You're actually supposed to take the reading down near the glow plug, or on the side of the block under the head.

If you take the temperature at the top of the head, it could literally be a huge difference.
