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 :shrug:

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 :rotfl:
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.
