22RE aftermarket temp gauge
I'd like to install an aftermarket temperature gauge as a backup to my intermittently-working in-dash gauge (SR5 cluster). My question is, where is the best place on the engine to install the aftermarket sender without eliminating the factory sender? My existing problem is a faulty gauge (and not the factory sender) because a good, hard slap on the underside of the instrument panel will wake the gauge up for a little while.

I thought of that, but was concerned that unless the tee could vent (which wouldn't be a good idea), the sender might be suspended in hot air, and not hot water as it is meant to be, and that may give an incorrect reading. But I could be wrong...

you could make a piece. cut top radiator hose in half and fashion a copper union in there with a port for the sender, some guys run like this for an electric fan thermostat no pretty but it works
