[Chrysler300] Help - 300 H heating issue

[RWestra@xxxxxxx]

I have a quirk in my "H" that just started after I took it out of storage 
this spring.  
 
After starting a cold engine, during warm up, the temperature gage will 
move clear over to the hot area.  After 4 or 5 minutes it will return to the 
normal operating temperature, (just below the middle of the gage) and stay 
that way until it cools off completely and is restarted.  Then the cycle 
repeats.  I have lost no coolant and it doesn't even seem hot but my heartrate 
goes up until the needle starts toward normal.  
 
I assumed the thermostat was sticking shut and bought a new thermostat and 
gasket and replaced it.  The new thermostat looked exactly like the old one 
(180 degrees) which I believe I replaced last year.  The temperature quirk 
did not change.  It still moves to the hot position, stays there for 5 
minutes and then starts down.  
 
Anyone have any experience like this?  I don't believe it is the power 
supply for the gages because the oil pressure gage seems to behave normally.  
Could it be the gage or the sending unit?  
 
Thanks for your help.
