Thanks for the suggestions! Previous owner just did the hoses and rad. Just ordered Extinct’s therm. Might look into that flowkooler pump next.

Got it, thanks!

alright I’ll be YouTubing how this Ultragauge works during some downtime tomorrow as I didn’t get any instructions with it. Just ordered your therm by the way! Looking forward to putting it on this coming weekend hopefully

Just plug it into your OBD2 port and pick a place on your dash to mount it. Then you pick the parameters you want to see, the most important one being coolant temperature.

do a new rad too while the system is drained. for under 200, it's a cheap insurance. the Nissens have been proven to work well enough through rock auto.
