Awesome install John, looks sweet!!

The "high temp silicone sheet", what did you use, where did you get it?

I installed some gauges in my Dodge truck over the weekend and Im afraid the new tranny cooler line I put in with the sensor boss it gonna rub the other one. I was tryin to figure out what to use. That silicone sheet looks like the answer.

Thanks
Brian

 

Thanks Brian. I get the stuff at work, mainly scrap. I'm not sure of an official part number or anything, but they use it on commercial jet engine thrust reversers. If you need some PM me, I'll see what i can dig up.

 

I've never been to Florida, but always meant to.

 

Easy enough, with this series of gauges all the temp gauges use the same sender.
If you run the big 3 (water, oil, volt) and don't want or have the room for more, all you need is extra sending units for the temp gauge and a switch to select which sender you want to read. I plan on adding an oil and tranny temp sender later on. You have to weld a bung in the pan for that, I'm not ready to crack the pans off just yet
You could read water, tranny, front diff, rear diff, oil, even cyl head temp off a single gauge, but of course not all at the same time. A rotary switch with led indicators would work great. You could probably go as far as to get in the gauge to put the leds on the face somewhere.
Automated switching come to mind as well, it could cycle through the senders on a time delay circuit that would be easy to build.

The Wrangler, Compass, Commander, Patriot, Grand Cherokee, and Liberty all have the same lame gauge cluster. Fuel, Speed, Tach, and idiot water gauge.
You would think they would be different but nooooooo............

 

Another damn good idea! Guess this goes on my todo list also!

X2 for Florida. WHen did you say you were going to be here?

 

LOL, I didn't!! My vacation this cycle is spoken for already, I'm gonna be in Moab this Easter!!

 

Thanks John, I appreciate the offer. Im gonna see what I can dig up locally this weekend. But if I cant find anything, I will keep your offer in mind. Thanks again!
