How To Install A Water Temp Gauge

[@skidmark7845]

Wow! I never thought of this. This solves my dilemma on where to install a sensor on my Tacoma

[@kingturk3918]

Bro. That was a good information. But the car and installation needs a golden grammy award for most outstanding by stander That mustangs in deep depression. Cable wires holding radiator hoses and shit together. Instrument cluster has even said good by to the car.Bro keep that water gauge installed its the only thing keeping the mustang,s heart beating :)

[@MariaGonzalez-ei1pv]

So Is it better to install it to the bottom hose to get accurate temperature?

[@YODAMAN5]

AWESOME.... LOVE THE RED WIRE HOLDING THE HOSE...LOL MOPAR 4 EVER.

[@abdulhassan1107]

The adapter is sized by the diameter of the lip, so it's ok to go for one size up.. meaning SN95 uses 38mm hose so 40mm adapter can be selected..

[@lupe8519]

On my truck the end to the radiator is 32 and the end to the engine is 38, so I ordered a 36 to put in the middle as it gets wider lol

So if your water temp gets hot! Do you stop! And put Ice to cool it down!

[@darebear6587]

omgawd. That's the sketchiest temp install I have EVER seen lol

[@liamryan3245]

Temp install? This how my permanent install looks 😂😂

[@fredc8346]

Yes pretty shoddy work. Also do not use a ratchet and socket to tighten hose clamps. They are just to compress down the rubber hose properly, not to excessively clamp down. You can see the clamps and the hose were distorting from the excessive tightening. As long as the clamp isn't broke doing this it will work but it is not proper and may end up badly.

[@Deathwish98]

Look at the rest of the engine bay think he cares ahaha

[@ronaldlynch2120]

It does. Look shoddy a gauge should. Be. Mounted in the dash. Panel or a pedestal cup

[@spiritdrift6207]

Why would you want the temp coming from the engine vs what the radiator is putting out? The engine temp will always be higher. Im curious to learn.

[@viljamivatanen332]

That is because you want to know how "hot" your engine is running. Not how much your radiator is cooling the water. So The cauge will tell your real engine temp, not your cooled water temp.

[@angus3540]

most of the time its because of the problems that happen if the water gets too hot. As you can imagine, if the water boils (100.C) thats trouble for your car, whereas your engine reaching 100.C isnt that bad. Thats my take on it, Im not a mechanic

[@DudeSushisbomb]

Going from the motor and not to the motor. Good call

[@williamachilleos7888]

@DriftDreams 242 just installed mine, I'm getting the 104 reading too. Did you ever find out what was wrong?

[@Ricardo-RAC]

Is a temp switch the same as a temp sender?

[@adamn3533]

May work, but will not show engine temp until thermostat starts to open, flowing coolant past sensor.

[@centaur188]

Very neat and professional lol

[@shawnlawrence4840]

Is this guage totally mechanical? Even though its digital reading.

[@williambranco7710]

Please explain how you get ground from that spot. Super confused 😕

[@chrisalvarez9442]

That's hooked between 2 hoses. Not the body of the car lol

[@offroaddemon1991]

Yea a rubber hose doesn't exactly count as grounding run ground from engine to sensor or just skip the stupid bolt on the housing and ground it to chassis

[@milwoodhughes670]

@@chrisalvarez9442 he hooked a wire from the screw bolt and then a bolt on top of the alternator bolt for his ground point.

[@shortattentionspangarage1312]

@@offroaddemon1991 No, you can't. That ground terminal on the hose coupling is to give the temp sensor a ground reference since that's how it works.

[@qrs3658]

good vid bro. but is there a way to calibrate the sensor? why it started out with such high temp reading? car was hot?

[@Blload]

My guess its in Fahrenheit not Celsius.

[@franklinarguedas4832]

Mate, turn the bloody music off, no one is interested in listening to the music and to you talk at the same time.

[@ferberb9662]

Good video how has it run is it accurate I saw this gauge on amazon and I said let se if I can find a video of the gauge and your video came up trying to put this in a 1995 Dodge Ram because the gauge on the truck stays on the middle of 210 and 260 with a/c on so I don’t know if the gauge on the truck Is not working or the truck is over heating but for redundancy I will buy this gauge what the aluminum connection so due a update of how is working

[@jogmas12]

Your mustang has a “low in the back” attitude. I think the rear springs are shot.

[@PastorOverall]

So you don't have to Teflon tape the temp sensor before installing?

[@theinfinitejoe]

With Any liquid moving thru except fuel I say better to have it when you don’t need it rather not have it when you need it

[@venkatnarayanaraokakinada3187]

where shall i get this gauge in India market ?

[@TemoTemo1995]

[@Gangstercub]

104 means its not working properly or wired wrong.. This is a hatchet job...

what size would a 2016 silverado use 32 ? 38 ? or 40 ?

How did you get the red wire into the 12 V fuse?

They have fuse jumpers. I’d always go for that route before trying to jam copper under the fuse.

You didn’t start the car to show how accurate the gauge works

[@mikeysan4]

Isn't 104 an error code?

[@pepin159]

104 is the temperature of the water at that moment (engine cold)

Fit the two jubilee clips with a one mill gap, cut there for a neat cut, that cut is the worst I've seen, "on any vehicle" he says. . . .but not mine LOL

That is a very horrible installation !

[@fredc8346]

@@DriftDreams242 Another mistake. If you don't actually want an accurate temp then you can do that but you want to view the hot coolant temp that is coming out of the engine and that is through the top hose. You are viewing the temp of the coolant that is going into the engine which gives you no idea what temp the engine itself is running at. Either find a way to run a sender on the block or intake or just make the installation look a little nicer.
