Temp Gauge

[Bouvers]

We have all heard about how our heat gauge and even our oil pressure gauges are inaccurate to say the least.

I would like to have a more accurate read out, however I sure as hell don't want to have a clusterfuck of gauges in my interior ESPECIALLY if I have the same gauges on my dash just seems too damn ricer to me.

So my question is there any way to make your OEM gauges more accurate? that would be a much better route for me.

Not that I've ever heard of, people have been trying on the temp gauge for years.

Its not rice if they actually serve a purpose...

I am a ricer.


My aftermarket temp. gauge shows an average of 20 degrees different than the one in-dash.

I'm with you on that, but I really don't want another temp gauge in my car... so is the answer a no...

Then your SOL. I'd rather had 2 temp gauges in my car then have a waterpump go bad and not know.

add the pillar gauges, then have TSS make you a cover for the indash area.... problem solved.

Or you could get one of those plates (can't remember who makes/made it) that lets you use all aftermarket gauges in place of the factory shit. Probably be a bitch to wire up though...

now that is what I'm interested in... any links?

As for prefab, I don't know that anyone makes a plug and play....
I meant doing after market gauges (pillar, vent, wherever) then have TSS (LS1 member: Third Shift Studios) to make you a custom plate (info or phienox or whatever), then just remove the factory needle, and apply the emblem over to make it look seemless. If interested, shoot TSS a pm. He is sure to fix you up.

Sorry, I can't find it again. It was on Tech though I believe. All it was though was a plate that came precut to fit standard size gauges like autometers or whatnot. If it was a plug and play it would be nice, but I bet the wiring is a bitch to do.
