real quick. Ive replaced the thermostat

noise. It sounds like its having trouble
but comes out of it quick any ideas?

From your discription of what the gage is doing, my long distance guess is the temp sending unit. You can probably do a Google search and find where it is located....usually around the thermostat. It unscrews and you screw the new one in. You will need some sealant for the threads. I think that will solve the problem. If the sending unit does not solve the problem, then it will be harder to track down.
