I'm having a problem with my m44. The heat gauge used to always sit smack dab in the middle and now its been acting a little crazy. I'll explain some of the incidents:
1) i had an hour drive on the highway and my needle never got up to the middle, it stay at about the 1/4 mark
2) today when i was idling for about 10 minutes the needle went to the middle, but then when i drove away the needle started gradually going down, eventually to the cold mark. (city driving)

also this is the 1st real cold weather of the season, so i was thinking that might have something to do with it, but last winter it worked fine...

anyone have any idea?
