I just bought a water temp gauge and have no idea where to install on it on the block. The truck has got one currently on it right now, which is located below and between number 1 and 3 cyclinder.

if the stock one works you can leave it and put it on the head on other side
a lot do,it's the same spot but closer to the back

If the stock one doesn't work, then why would you leave it in the block?

My stock one is not hooked up! The po that i bought it from also bought an aftermarket gauge for it and im thinking that its installed in the wrong area.

look on the intake near the water neck or on the water neck, might be a plug you can remove and install there, thats where mine is and works fine

Ok, thanks. Does this give a pretty acurate reading of the block also?
