Well...., I looked around in the arcives and did'nt find any info about putting in a water temp warning light.

A while back I burst a rotten radiator hose and warped the head. The thing is there was'nt any dramatic cloud of steam or any thing to alert me. I was driving along and the truck began losing power, I looked at my water temp gage (SR5 gage cluster) to see it was pegged!

I'm thinking if I would of had a big red light letting me know the water temp was at 200+f I may have avoided the damage.

I'm looking at a sender that's 1/2-14NPT, off at 170f/on at 200f. sender

So, the question is, where do I put the sender? It looks like there is a plug right near the thermostat neck.

Anyone do this before? Any suggestions?

I'm looking at the fitting just below and to the left of the thermostat neck.
