I have a ’96 T-100, 5 speed, two-wheel drive, with the 3.4 v6 engine. The
temperature gauge acts erratic. I’ll try to describe it – if the gauge was
marked off from 1 to 10, with 1 being cold, once the engine reaches its
normal range, around 5, the gauge will jump between 3 and 5. I asked my
mechanic and he said had not seen this. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

Might try testing the sender and gauge, procedure usually covered in the
factory service manual.
BTW, mine goes to 11

could be a bad connection or the sender. but most likely it is the meter. I
have had old volt meters start bouncing around when they go bad.
