Thermometer reading low

Thermometer reading low
A month or so ago my thermometer started reading pretty low (a little over 1/4) so I figured the thermostat must be stuck open. Finally got around to replacing it and it's not any better, might even be a little worse. What else could it be? Next thing i plan to try is replacing the sensor but anyone know anything else that could cause it to read low?

Not sure, but if you get an OBD wifi connector you can look at diagnostic stuff with your phone. This includes seeing the temperature as a digital number. The obd connector only costs around $20 (elm 327) and the app for phone is maybe $10. That would at least tell you the temperature the thermocouple thinks your coolant is. Perhaps the gage on your dash is wrong.
