Here comes all the question, seeing that you are apparently the only one to add a water temp guage to a 6.0 on the planet.
What type of gauge-mechanical or electrical?
Where did you get the adapter? Autometer? P/N if possible.
Can you describe where the waterjacket is that you tapped into? Pics if possible.
I really want to get this done before I tow anymore this summer.
Thanks alot!

That helps ALOT! I have the Phantoms under dash but I think I want to run the 2 on the column. If I like it alot I will switch them all out for the 2's. Found all the parts on Summit.
Thanks for being the only other person to add a temp gauge! You are a pioneer!
Thanks again!
