Then it's definitely electrical and not a cooling system problem.  
I'd look first at the temperature sensor on the engine.  If your
V6 has a multi-function temperature sensor, then I'd say 90% 
sure that's the problem. Also check for corroded connections
and broken wires at the MFTS.  The problem could also be at
the other end -- the gauge (same issues).  And it could be a 
break in the wire somewhere between the MFTS and the gauge.
