Re: Temp sending Unit

I would rather not have to tear into the dash, it's such a pain and probably a last resort. I'd honestly probably put a new gauge that comes with its own sending unit in the glove box first before messing with the dash. I'd probably put a volt meter and a tranny fluid temp gauge in there as well if i was going to add some things i want to keep an eye on.

HH56,

That seems like a cleaner design. I'm sure with effort and your baffle idea we could actually make a flow path, but i'm confident it would read closely just being in there. Thinking about it, even if the coolant wasn't flowing through, just being in contact with the hot rushing coolant should keep the temp up. I think this is probably the best option, and pieces could be had at home depot instead of heading to the parts store and having the kid ask me what's it fit.
