Alright well ill try to make this short but i want to add 2 aftermarket gauges to my jeep. Water temp and another one that i haven't picked yet. I want the other one to be of oil temp or oil pressure. Which would be a more important gauge to have for monitoring my jeep's status?
Heres the link for the gauge pod: http://www.autoanything.com/gauges/6...0A1809654.aspx
Again for a 94 XJ 2 gauge pod.

The water temp gauge needs a sending unit. So with a little research, it looks like out radiator hose up top is about 1.19 in on the inside diam. According to this: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...=2411_0_10495_

So if i bought this: http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/30-mm...ttachment.aspx Would the sending unit fit inside of the upper radiator hose correctly with the supplied clamps?

Thanks in advance,
Will

 

why not just get a cluster that has the water temp already on it... same with oil pressure. oil temp will need a sender as well.

 

Not sure I under stand the ? The gauge sending unit must be 1/8" NPT (for that hose adapter) and that has nothing to do with the hose clamps or the inside diameter of the rad hose. One thing to consider IF the sending unit is located in the rad hose, the temp gauge will be slow to respond as coolant flow thru the rad hose doesn't occur 'till the t-stat opens. You may see the gauge rapidly rise/fall as the stat open/closes, especially in cool weather. Mounting the sending unit in the heater hose will give more reliable temp readings because coolant constantly flows thru the heater hose the moment the motor starts.
