ok thanksMy 96, with a newish coolant temp sensor shows 160 on the gauge, but the engine coolant temp is 195. You need an OBDII tool to check ECT. The bluetooth gizmos that cost around $20 will give you this and more.
Is this a new thing? Have you done anything work on our Escalade lately?on my 1999 escalade (5.7) i drove it hard for 10 minutes and the gauge will only get up to about 160 maybe it is overcooling or a bad gauge please help

As @96-2D-Hoe said, getting a scan tool will give you a better idea of what’s going on.
Maybe your thermostat has stuck open. For the couple $'s it costs I would just change it, and the rad cap too.it is a new thing it used to run at about 190 i will probably scan it and see if that will tell me somthing thanks for the help

Any OBDII capable scan tool will give you the engine coolant temperature
