Pillar Gauge Question
Do you still have the coolant dash gauge working with a pillar coolant gauge hooked up ?
Does it interfere with the accuracy of the pillar gauge ?

You normally wouldn't remove the temperature sensor for the factory temperature gauge. Usually when you install an aftermarket gauge you also install the temperature sending unit that is recommended by the gauge manufacturer (installed into a different sending unit location). Two gauges, each with their own sending units. Neither affectects the accuracy of the other.
