That's actually a good easy idea.

I just bled the input on the manifold and checked the temperature of the manifold with an IR thermometer (while the engine was still pretty cool) and my thermometer read 35 when the gauge was 80. It is not definitive but it seems like something must be wrong with my gauge. It is the only other...

Sounds like I have an issue there (which can only be vapor) I have to do a little digging in to see what could be going on. But at the same time, If there is enough pressure then my gauge could be right at the point of boiling which is still not good. I looked up boiling points and pressure...

I had a faulty sending unit to my dash causing my temperature gauge to spike and making me throw my clutch and swerve off the highway in a panic. I replaced the sending unit and decided to add a Acutemp gauge to monitor the actual water temperature. I found a nice OEM dual port that connects...

That's exactly why I ask. I appreciate that advice. What a great link too. That will be really useful.

I just found a Denso solenoid for a really good price so I am going to follow your advice but replace it too to take that out of the equation. I did not realize until I took the photo above that the bolt above (The dash pot?) could also be the culprit. In the limited information I have found...

Can anyone tell me if this is in fact my cutoff solenoid that is leaking on the back of my injector pump? Back being on the firewall side of the pump. I found the part number 2275117140. Price for this thing is not fun to see.

Thought that was the pump housing at first. True the temp will not be as accurate but at least it will give me a difference in temperature once I know what normal is there. That is the key anyway. The part on my truck this would replace doesn’t even have a single output. At least it would be...

Right. That's what I was thinking of doing but I would rather put it in an unused port if one exists. Which I think there are a few but I am just not sure if they will work. I would rather keep the factory sensor in place, but I know that would be the best place for it. Does anyone have...

And there is a little information on it on MUD but I try to stay away from it. The infighting drives me crazy. And there is still limited information on the 1HDT. It is the main reason I joined this forum.

I am aware of the issue with the OEM gauge. That is why I want my own gauge installed. My gauge pegged and I have learned all about it. My issue is most likely the sending unit. I have one on order now, but until then, I wanted to install a more accurate gauge as well just for peace of mind...

Long story short, I am having some cooling issues I am trying to diagnose, but regardless, I am now paranoid and I would like to install an aftermarket temperature sensor. I really need my truck as a camper for the next three nights and I am in a rush to install it right away. Being in the...

I am having a heating issue and wanted to see if anyone could tell me the temperature ranges of the HDJ80. I know the gas FZJ80 has a gauge that spikes at 225F Just over 100C. Is that gauge the same one used on the HDJ80?
