supplementary water temp gauge

[blackpoolsparks]

There was some discussion last week about fitting an aftermarket water temp gauge to compensate for the poor accuracy of the standard unit.
Where/ how does the new sender unit fit as I want to maintain the standard one as well.
Looking at some kits on Fleabay now.

OOPS! I should really read the details of the vehicle first... i assumed that it was only the 2.4 that had cooling issues and that it was only a certain amount that failed depending on the year of the truck
