WHY DO I NEED AN INTAKE TEMPERATURE GAUGE?
An Intake Air Temperature Gauge is integral to the long term health and overall performance of your truck. If the temperature’s running too high, the intercooler could be blocked or damaged. This gauge is an early alert in case there are any issues, notifying you ahead of time so that you can prevent any significant damage from happening. If you’re committed to looking out for your truck and getting as much life out of your engine as possible, taking effective and accurate intake air temperature readings will play an important role.
WHAT TRUCKS BENEFIT FROM AN INTAKE TEMPERATURE GAUGE?
MaxTow’s Intake Temp Gauge was made for any driver that expects more from their truck and wants to maximize their engine’s output, whether it involves racing, driving long distances or towing heavy cargo. Over time these types of applications will impact your engine, and one of the indicators that your engine may be experiencing too much strain is if the intake air temperature is high. Monitor to ensure that your intercooler is being properly cooled so that your engine continues to perform at its peak.
TRUCK INTAKE TEMPERATURE GAUGE
To install a 2-1/16" (52mm) Double Vision® Intake Temp Gauge for trucks, you'll have key parts required for the process. Included is a 3/8-18 NPT Electronic Air Temperature Sensor with a Waterproof Connector, a 9' Sensor Wire Harness with a Waterproof Connector, a 5’ Power Harness, a Mounting Bracket, and Mounting Bracket Hardware. In many cases you can add the electronic sender to the pre-intercooler, post intercooler, or the air intake pipe.
