My 3000 has the original instrument cluster in it and all of it works
except the temperature gauge. Tach, hour meter, fuel gauge, oil
pressure and charge lights, just not the temperature gauge.
I would prefer not to replace it since the hour meter works.
It has a new thermostat and temp sender unit. BTW, this has the
1/8 inch sending unit, not the larger one with an adapter.
A hand-held infrared thermometer tells me it is running at the
correct temp, but the gauge doesn't work. Is there an aftermarket
gauge that will hook to the original style sending unit and show me
the correct temp? With the cab on it I have lots of mounting options
without messing things up, but I would like to see the current temp.
Or are there other options I haven't thought of?
Seems like with the 1/8 inlet I would have trouble getting a
bulb type temperature gauge to fit, although that would be fine.
Maybe even better as I could judge the temp when I plug in the
newly installed block heater.
