I wonder if possibly a defective thermostat, that it is sticking open.
to bench test thermostat place in a pot,if you have a candy thermometer all the better ,place in cool water and bring to boil checking temp.it should open alittle at a time until being fully open at what ever temp it is rated at
then slowly add cold water and it should close in a similar fashion

what would cause my temperature gauge drop to cold then rise back to normal while driving ive replaced thermostat,radiator,water pump,coolant temp sensor,coolant temp switch ive burped the radiator and still it is happening the more i replace the better it gets but still not working 100% properly but once it does this problem and it rises back to normal it is fine for the rest of the day no signs of blown headgasket or cracked block
