[V8] Temp Sensor

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

I think you just proved that the sensor is in fact working just fine. No need to
replace it unless it is leaking or the readings are out of spec.
And - no - the guage does not use both sensors. Rumor has it that the electric
fan can use both if needed though.
