Re: Installing engine oil temperature gauge - TJ
Speaking of idiot lights, I recently found out Ford on all their trucks for
the past 20 years does not have a true oil pressure gauge. I was listening
ot Goss's Garage and Pat said that the oil pressure guage in Ford trucks is
a pointer idiot light and has been because the bean counters proofed that it
was less costly to do so. So I went to my neighbor and asked to do a test
and found out that the oil sending unit is a switch to ground. We even
measured the resistance from a cold start no change, them we used a probe
hooked to th + side of the battery and it light. Damn Ford has been fooling
us for a ling time. Pat was also saying that Ford was not going to change
because there was no value in doing so.

I think it's part of the dumbing down of America, with our trade
deficit we'll soon have a third world economy, anyway. I haven't got
into a tractor in nearly ten years, but there my load depended on me
reading every gauge from the pyrometer to one of the driver

You would probably want to braze that on to a steel pan.
Mine has a plastic pan so I suppose it could be epoxied.
