Water Temperature Gauges

Water temperature gauges are one of the most important tools in your engine. They let you know how hot your engine is running and can help you identify smaller problems before they become bigger problems. This is why Diesel Pro wants you to know what can go wrong, and how to make sure that your water temperature gauges are working correctly.

If your temperature gauge is showing you that your engine is running hot, but you don’t think that the reading is correct then there is a way to check to make sure that your water temperature gauge is not broken. Water temperature gauges can be both mechanical and electrical, and the methods to check them differ. Mechanical gauges are much easier to check. The best way is to heat a pot of water and measure the temperature with a thermometer, and then measure the temperature of the water with your gauge. Obviously if the temperatures are not the same there could be something wrong with your gauge. Electrical gauges are slightly more complicated to check, and the best way is to take them to a shop that has a gauge tester. Whatever you have to do, you want to make sure that your water temperature gauge is working.

Whenever you do need to replace your water temperature gauge, Diesel Pro is a great place to do it. Diesel Pro carries both electrical and mechanical gauges, and has a large selection to choose from. We offer a high quality product that is sure to satisfy you.  If you aren’t sure what kind of gauge to pick, then consider the following. Mechanical water temperature gauges are much easier to test and read. Electrical gauges, though, are smaller, and are more easily placed where you want them. Whichever you choose, make Diesel Pro the place you get it.
