Default 1UZ-FE Toyota Tacoma Water Temp Guage Install with Pictures

I finally got the motivation to hook up my gauges. I can monitor anything by way of hooking up my laptop but that's insanely hard to see when driving. But while I would tune my Adaptronic ECU I could see that all my engine temps and everything were working just fine so I never got around to installing my Autometer gauges. The weather has been really nice outside and I knew I just had to put things aside and work on the truck a little bit. I'm basically putting these gauges in to make sure they work and are easy to hook up before I start fabrication my new dashboard.

Since I have a spare engine I went ahead and put the extra coolant/water passageway on my workbench so I could see where exactly and how I was going to install the temperature sensor. There is only one place to install this sensor and it's right in front of the coolant outlet which is most accurate. I really had to crank on the old temp sensor to break it free but it came out soon enough.
