H2O Gauge

Can you hook up an aftermarket electrical H2O gauge to the stock wires going to the stock temp gauge?Thanks.

Should be able too. Check the resistance values of the original sender verse what the aftermarket gauge requires. Sometimes you can use original wiring and that is it IF you don't use the power wire from the cluster harness as it has lower voltage.

Thanks Mark.It would make for a pretty simple install if they are the same resistance.I appreciate the help.I've got a manual coming for the truck so I can try to answer these things myself.
