You mean a Ford gauge actually moves?
Since the thermostat seemed to make some difference... is that a genuine Ford part or just a random part over the counter? At least ask for the premium thermostat.
Certainly if the hoses are original or soft they could be replaced. IMO not much collapses when running 10-15 psi.
The thermostat is a genuine Ford part, the bottom hose doen't appear to be very soft. Yes, the gauge actually moves and depending on long the the rpm stay high, the temperature gauge will move higher or lower in the range.
