Temperature gauge in RTV fixed!

[Wayne_H]

I gave up with the dealer replacing both the temperature gauge and the sending unit, the thing always "looked" like it was over heating, and hovered around 7/8 of full scale. I did take temp readings with an IR thermometer, and it read 180 or so, so I knew it was not really over heating. So off to ebay, and for about 50 bucks I bought an ISSPRO water temperature gauge and installed in in less than an hour. The sending unit for the gauge (it is an electronic gauge) fits the same threads where the old sensor is with no adapters.

The gauge fits perfectly in the old hole, and the old one came out in seconds. Here is what she looks like!

Wayne,
Can you post a link to the gauge. I found one but it is less than $50, which makes me believe there must be something else I would need to order?
Thanks

You do not want that one, it is 24 volts and will not work! You want one with 12 volts. I did not see any on sale right now, I sent a note to the person I got mine from in the hopes he may have another for you. Mine is an RS6758, here is the link.
