It goes as least as far as the gauge on the dash. The gauge goes to 260°. Weird question.

I guess you are right there in a way... But who knows how good the stock gauge is.. HAve heard many times its not even close to being correct...!

Anyways wd. ya know where one could get a gauge to put in the head that goes up to 225 or so?

Summit, Jegs and a lot of folks in the list of supporting vendors for this site sell gauges. Most go way past 225 and you'll need it.

Sorry about that, I am not looking for a GAuge, but the A TEmp. Senser that goes to 225 or 220 something like that to run a switch for the Electric water pump... To make a Warning system...!Thanks

I guess it always helps to give all the info in the beginning...


Don't see why you could not use an adjustable fan temp switch and relay for that.
