Ronsandt Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I’m revisiting this issue with cvrt having no temp gauge. Personally it is the dumbest thing I ever heard of. But anyone put a temp sender in their cvrt j60motors? Someone said put battery operated one in but I can’t find them anywhere. I know others are interested in this issue too.

andym Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 The civilian versions of that engine had temperature gauges so it shouldn't be too difficult other than the 12V/24V issue? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Voltage shouldn't be a problem, VDO (other makes are available) gauges are rated 6v to 24V :- https://www.vdo-instruments.com/sensors/temperature-sensors-switch.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronsandt Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) So anyone know the thread for such A sensor. Thanks for the good answers. I was wondering if the motor was the same as car one. But with military you never know what they change.

Ronsandt Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 So I looked into the xk motors in cars and found out a lot don’t have them either? Anyone no the thread and were to put one into our j60 motor with aftermarket gauges. I no theirs an idiot light but I like to see my gauge when it comes to heat.

sirhc Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 The temp sender for the warning light is on the inlet manifold near the distributor. Remove it and find something that’s 24v and has the right thread, then find a compatible gauge. Shouldn’t be that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
