I'm aware that the guage itself wouldn't be the problem!!
My real question is, could anything electrical (eg - faulty sensor) be actually causing the problem. Any experts out there?

From what I've seen and read about the engine design the oil is continuously passively cooled by the water coolant circulating in the engine block. There is nothing electronic that controls this, just the in-line oil temp gauge that seems to read moderately accurately. The added feature that was missing from the 350's is the new limp mode that tries to slow you down by limiting RPM when the oil temperature gets too high.
I'm not a mechanical engineer and so not an expert (just have an engineering background).
