Thank you Brandon,

on another subject - did you or Chris ever try reading your water temp with the Scan Guage - then disconnect the sensor? Still trying to figure out how or why my AE is monitoring water temp with no sensor plugged in.

I got it off of ebay. They don't come available all that often, but they are out there for reasonable prices.

It is just an opening that the upfitters snap into. The little cubby to the right is where the trailer brake controller go on the 05-07's if equipped. I believe the opening is 2 1/2" tall and 8-9" wide. Don't quote me on it without measuring but it's gotta be close. You could easily build a panel that snaps into that place that would hold the Carlings.

The Scangauge reads 20 degrees higher than my Autometer, needless to say I don't trust the Scangauge reading.

I'm Ed,

the part number does not come up on regular inhouse system, but when I go online to Ford part number comes up as good with no sales restrictions, but with a note I order from blue diamond, a divsion of Fords. So before I go any further I'm going to call my blue diamond rep and make dam sure I can buy these.

I'LL BE BACK!

.....tried to rep ya but I just rep'd ya yesterday......

I've heard the ScanGauge reading is probably a dummy reading as there isn't a sensor the OBDII port could possibly use to read coolant temp. Your post just backed it up for sure. Where did you locate your coolant temp sensor?

So not to hi-jack any further, feel free to pm me. I need a reason for another gauge.
