Speedhut CJ speedo gauge temp warning

[Randyzzz]

it’s more that part of the Speedhut purchase was to finally get my dream dash layout and this one bit of it is off. Princess and the pea kind of thing

ive thought of swapping the USB outlets I have in the dash for one with an LED voltage readout and buying a matching temp gauge to replace the voltmeter, but then I’ve got redundant gauges in my “perfect” dash and THAT would annoy me

Dang, Eric. You're beginning to sound as bad as me!

Long story, short, I overheated my motor years ago on the trail and can't ever go back to just reading a sliding scale temp gauge. I have to know the temp! So I guess I'll stick with redundant gauges.

Thanks for the leg work on reaching out to Speedhut!

Bigwalton, reviving this thread. I have changed 2 different thermostats. Boiled both and they open fine. Burped the coolant as well. I have the speed hut gauges and the warning light comes on shortly after the 195degree thermostat opens open. If ideal temp is around 210. Should I expect the gauge to go down, or just always show hot? Again this is new radiator, pump, thermostat, hoses etc oh and 302 Ford.

Okay I figured it out I was trying to use the Ford temperature sending unit with the Speed Hut gauges. That will not work you have to use the Speed Hut sending unit with the Speed Hut gauges.
