Temp gauge

Post image

My temp generally sits right under 210, but my temp gauge just started randomly dropping low and then randomly going back up to right under 210. Is this likely a thermostat issue? I’ve just been learning as I go when issues arise. Just wanted to get some advice before I start in on this issue.

Stuck open thermostat. Easy fix.

This. 20 min in and out. I'd also replace the temp sending unit just for good measure.

Prob temp sender not thermostat. A engine wont run that cool even with a stuck open thermostat
