Hey just got mine installed today. Im gonna put the gauage into tomorrow. The sensor must go on the hose between the crankcase and the frontheat exchanger. To access this you must take the back half of the skid plate off. This was the first firecat that they had installed one on. The hose is very short with a turn in it. It will be nessecary to to remove the hose. With the hose removed cut it. Then place the sensor in the hose, and clamp it. Note the hoses on the firecats seem to be slightly smaller than 1". Thus makeing it a "real bitch" Then put the hose pack on the crank case and exchanger. This is the only place to put the sensor to get a "hot water" reading. If you want a "cold" water reading install it where dana did.

It was a "real bitch" to do :angry: I need a miller. :wacko:

stock fitting, stock hose.


i think the hose isnt 1 inch but 7/8ths or 15/16ths. fitting is designed for 1 inch.

The hose connected to the head will give you the tempature of the water going to the engine. That water will be cold. according to dana only 105 degrees on normall days. I wanted the temp of the hot water coming out of the engine.

I thought about putting it there but i wont be able to see while im driving. In order to see it there ill have to stop and put my head down to see it i think. Im going for Dana's install location for the gauge. It will probably take u an hour to install the sensor, run the wires, and put the plate back on.

Hey dana, how did you change the bulb? that thing looks like its sealed tight?

Just got done with the install. I got the temp gauge to go up to 160 degrees. Note: theres no snow on the ground, did a little mudding.
