How do install an auxiliary temperature gauge
2007 Equinox
My temp gauge is not working and I was going to just put in my own mechanical Temp gauge. Where do I put the Probe from the gauge, does it go in a port in the head, between a hose or where??

You don't want to remove the factory sensor because the engine won't work properly. So you would have to fashion some sort of hose adapter I guess. A piece of pipe to act as a coupler, with a hole drilled in it for your probe maybe. Sounds like a leak waiting to happen though. Maybe just cable tie it to a part of the water pump or thermostat. It won't be super accurate, but better than nothing.

are you sure it's the gauge that's not working?

No other ports I'm aware of.
