FYI - a ScanGauge II will likely read a number instead of a needle position if you've an interest to know. I'll swap mine from my Accord to the Dak and be sure, but it does in the Honda. Needle position only on the Honda gauge but a true number comes out of the OBDII port. Lots of info available there that you can use - TPS, water temp, battery voltage, engine load, rpm, mpg, mph, cost of trip, and lots more. Kinda pricey at $150, but valuable to me in my search for max fuel mileage in the Accord. It's paid for itself in increased fuel economy. Up to 34mpg in my 1998 2.3l auto with an EPA sticker of 24 in town / 31 highway - way better than my 3.9 Dakota that I drive to work for almost 3 years. 3.9l Cummins should do much better than my Magnum engine, at least that's the plan.

I was thinking of getting one of those gauge pods with water and trans temp (both electric) but funds are elsewhere ATM. Would be a little more than scanguage, but the SC x-guage software doesn't list transmission temps for dodge, only ford.

Friend on Facebook the other day poped a photo down in houston.. was 127
Talk about hot.. I cleaned my radiator fins out really good with the water hose.. I really need to flush the system again.. the coolant is kinda a sh!tty green color..
No one answered me on the e-fan though if one from a Ford Taurus would work ok and just wire it in with an on/off switch.. fused to the battery

Hey Jon,
The Ford Taurus ones will work - search a little to find the threads of several guys who discussed this last year. Several are running it in a variety of setups - thermostats, AC controlled, simple on/off switches... I have one in my garage - going to go in with the Cummins instead of a mechanical one.
