Either a gauge problem, or you are over charging due to a bad alternator. You will need a volt meter to decide, but...get it checked.
You shouldn't be over 14 volts running.

Put alternator on 2011 kubota rv9000, now headlights, fuel gauge and temp gauge don't work
Likely you did not reattach all wires. Check for a loose red wire that should be on same alternator stud as the large red battery cable.

Just did a motor job, charged battery, car starts and runs fine, until battery dies, put two different alternators in it, still same problem,fusible links have resistance to, any ideas?
problem could be the positive battery bad need replacing also negative battery cable if both are old, make sure the small positive red 10 gauge wire that part of the positive battery cable is crimp have tight connection that wires run directly to starter fuse link.make sure you have the right amp alternator and check alternator fuse.

After running car approximately ten minutes the temperature gauge shows hot, close to the red sometimes goes clear over to the red. Had sensor replaced and they say when tested the car is not hot. What...
Well,sometimes the gauges in the dash do go bad.Not often, but it happens. Tap the dashboard right on the gauge firmly with your fingers.Any change and you know you have a bad gauge.
I have to tap my oil pressure gauge on my 1988 F-250 to get a proper readout....LOL! So i know this can be the case. (:^) don-ohio
