Upper radiator Hose adapter for aftermarket coolant Gauge.

[Todd Z]

This is 1 I made to add an aftermarket Gauge to my truck. Since then I have made another to replace this one. IT was in my truck 1 month.



IT is stainless steel tube that is 1.5 inch in diameter by 4 inches long. It fits perfectly in the flat spot by the alternator in the UPPER radiator hose.

IT has a 3/8 stainless steel NPT bung welded in it.



Painted high temp gloss black.



Almost all gauges come with the sender and an 3/8 adapter. They will screw right in with some plumbers tape for a seal.



It also has 16 inches of 14 Gauge wire bolted to it as a ground. The Gauge will not work without this wire grounded to the truck. 2 Clamps included.



I would NOT recommend this for an electric fan sender, the coolant stays a little hot and the fan will run longer then needed.



The ones sold by Autometer go for 33.99 plus shipping.



I am asking $25.00 shipped for this one.

Todd - I'll take it. Okay to send you a money order? Also - do you have anything like this for an oil pressure gauge?

 

[Todd Z]

Mike, No problem....



Sorry, nothing for the oil, but that is normally only some 1/4 inch brass tubing and your done..

Todd,

It's here and if the weather cooperates I'll install it this weekend. Nothing more than cutting the upper radiator hose, install the adapter and the rest of the gauge. No surprises??



Thanks,



Mike
