im wanting to install a temp guage and am wondering which sending unit to remove i have a 03 baja and there are 2 of what appear to be sending units one comes out of the side of the thermostat housing and one out of the top of it anyhelp guys ???
thank you

 

come on fellas anyone ???

 

i don't know if your set on electric gauge , but i put a heat seeker guage on mine last year i like it , seems to be quite acurate , have you ever tried engine ice?

 

no ive never tried any additave's ive never had any problems with it overheating.. the fan works when its supposed to i just dont trust the idiot light i got my oil pressure guage mounted today think i'll run a T fitting and add the sending unit back into it as well.. but yes i do like the manual guages rather than electric ...

 

It is the one on top of the thermostat i believe. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Lance

 

mine has never really over heated either but the light has come on a couple times lastyear(only had it one season) the heat seeker displayed over 220 f but that was a really hot day, it does get hot here in canada in july aug 30 c plus. ive just herd about so many problems with the fans in these machines if one could keep the temp down i feel it would be a good thing.

 

thanks Lance im starting to think about not putting the temp guage in.. i was also wondering if the people out there having heating problems have taken the guts out of the thermostat we used to do that to our cars when i lived in Redding gets hot as hell there we would leave part of the thermostat in as a restrictor to reduce the flow of coolent so the radiator could still do its job but it worked real well keeping things cool

 

I havent had any heating problem with my DS. Only when the fan went out. I got a new fan and hooked it directly to the battery and but a toggle switch that way i can turn it on or off when i want to, it works great and i havent had any trouble since. I live in southern new mexico so the temp. outside gets around 100 to 115 degrees during the summer. I havent never heard of taking the thermostat out of the housing but u could try it, i dont know if it will hurt anything or not. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Lance
