autometer water temp on SOHC 4.0
 
I am wanting to install this but I wanted to see how some of you have done it. I beieve that the sender is under the throttle body/intake manifold. Is there anywhere else I can put this, those senders dont screw in. Any pics would be great.

i had mine there but found out i was getting really crappy readings..

Big04Ranger 12-02-2006 03:25 PM

norm temp according to it is 208ish.. i have the flow restrictor open all the time so coolant will flow through there so i get a reading..

That sure simplifies things. I drilled and tapped a hole next to the two stock sensors. It's clean and tucked away but it was an all day project.
