Aftermarket Temp Gauge Installation

Has anyone installed a temp gauge on their gen 1 2.7L?
If so, what brand did you use? Installed via the manifold or radiator hose?

Thanks!

I saved a lot of work by just installing a Scangauge II

It tells you a lot more than just temperature. Look it up. I think you will like it.

 

Unless your going to install a mechanical temperature gauge the factory one is just fine .

A royal pain matching sending units with different brand gauges at least for me.

 

Thanks koditten, will try the scangauge.

 

Why do you think you need to track the exact temp of the engine? I see a lot of people freak when they do this and the temps changes by 5-10 or even 20 degrees in different conditions. That's normal. Nothing to worry about.

Scangauge is pretty expensive, if all you want is temp, just get a $20 bluetooth OBDII scanner and a $5 app on your phone.

 

I was going to get a scangauge II then spent a couple hours reading about the ABS light problem and disbling a certain set of pins and which connector does that but not this one type stuff. Does anybody have a link for the correct adapter cable that fixes the ABS light problem in a gen1? I held off till I figured this out..

 

I contacted ScanGauge directly years ago and they sent me a different cable solving the problem. No charge.
