Equus 6242 2" Mechanical Water Temperature Gauge, Black

Good as frick frack patty whack. My temp gauge in my '91 Sierra with a 5.7l 350 decided to kill itself and replacement sensors wouldn't read accurate no matter what. So I said screw it, and bought this one.The worst part about the entire thing honestly is the probe. It sucks having to drill a massive hole in the firewall for the temp probe, but as long as you have the means to seal it up after installation it's great.Included bracket is meh. It works. Gauge is a different temperature of white than the rest of the Equus gauges for some reason, but the bulb is replaceable so I guess I can't really complain too much about it. Just change the bulb if it's a big deal.Like others have said, it stays "stuck" at the bottom end until it gets a little hot in the engine. Not sure why people are acting like this completely makes the gauge useless. Who needs to know if their coolant temp is below 100 degrees anyway? Who cares if it doesn't start reading until it's *barely* warm? It works, and it works fantastically. Haven't had any issues with it since I installed it quite a few months ago.Tl;dr: People are making a bigger deal about the bracket and needle being "stuck" at 0 until the engine warms up a little bit (under 100°f) until it reads. It's fine. If you need a good gauge, buy this one. I intend on buying more for some other projects.

Accurate & easy install.

I apparently misread the ad because I was surprised to find that this is a capillary tube (mechanical) temperature gauge. I thought I was ordering an electric one. Since I haven't installed it (and may never), I can't evaluate its performance, but it appears well made and did come with appropriate adapters and mounting hardware.

Have a 1965 Mustang. When I bought it there were overheating issues. After some work we resolved those issues then suddenly half way through a long tour the temp gage began reading 3/4 instead of half. After having the radiator rodded, replacing the sensor and checking a number of other things, I elected to add this gage to see what the actual temperature was. It installed easily inside the engine compartment and the supplied fitting screwed right into the thermostat housing (removing the plug in the top of the thermostat housing proved to be a test). Now I find out I spent a lot of money when all I needed was a new gage.Works well at a reasonable price. The only thing about this repair that was!

This gage has a temperature probe which installs in the block making it more accurate in temperature readings than wired gages! I highly recommend this brand gage!

Nice looking gauge. Bought this one to replace a failed gauge in my RV. Seems to be accurate. Easy to install.

Once in a great while, the gauge won't start climbing like it should. Then suddenly it'll spring up into a reading. It seems to get stuck at 0. Not very good quality if it does that. Aside from that, it seems to work ok.

This product works well, but I was disappointed that it didn't come with any metric adaptors and I had to order these separately. You would think a universal gauge would come with more than 2 SAE adapters, especially since you have to have the adapters to be able to install it. Once I was able to complete the installation I was very happy with how well it worked.
