I recommend searching for "x gauges" in this forum. There are many lists to choose from. Be prepared though. You'll spend a lot of time staring at the thing while you're in the truck.

Some x-gauges direct from their website.

Ford Specific XGauges

I think the coolant temp gauge is already on the SGII.

coolant temp is already there at least on the newer ones

Its marked fWT = farenheight water tempiture NOT ECT like you think it would

theres also probably an x-gauge so you could name it what you want I dont think anyone uses it because it take one of the 25 positions

If you cant find Fwt post back Ill try and find the X-gauge for it

Your welcome !!!

You can also verify the accuricy of the temp gauges and scangauge by comparing All Fluid temps [ECT,EOT,TFT] after a 12 hour cold soak they should read the same temp or atleast be within 1-2 degrees of each other.

some of the x-codes can be modified if you find a Bust thats out 1-2* at cold soak
