HMMWV water temp gauge retrofit in a M1009?

[mikev]

I searched the CUCV forums for "water temperature gauge" installs and found 7 postings. They all dealt with civilian water temp gauge installs.

Someone on eBay is selling NOS HMMWV water temp gauges cheap. I'd like to install one next to my volt meter, but not sure if the gauge is 12 or 24 volt and the sender type.

Has anyone installed a HMMWV or Deuce water temp gauge in their 09?

If no one has done a military water temp gauge retrofit, I'll have to do further homework and figure it out. I'll post pics of the install as I do it.

Could you send me the link to the gauges? I can't find them... Thanks!

I just bought the last two he had listed:

NEW MILITARY HUMVEE TEMPERATURE GAUGE PN 12338473 | eBay

Hope no one "has a cow" for posting that link...

One outfit sells temp sensors for 6.5s, but not sure if they work with military gauges...???

I installed a HMMWV water temperature gauge in my M1009. It is green and I think it goes nicely with the subdued nature of the truck. I searched eBay and found a water temperature sending unit for a HMMWV as well. It fit perfectly in the hole vacated by the idiot light sensor on the front of the driver's side head (right behind the alternator). Of course the idiot light no longer works, but the gauge works perfectly so that doesn't matter to me. I placed the gauge in the radio delete panel on the lower right of the dash and rigged an ashtray light I had laying around from an old car project to illuminate the gauge at night. I don't remember if it was a 12 or 24 volt hookup, but I do remember it was not difficult to figure out. I will try to get a picture up. My computer is not responding to the attempt.

Thanks for the reply and pics camogriz (your gauges look good in that spot!)

I did x-ref the seller's part number and it matches a proper HMMWV temp gauge - just got to x-ref the proper sender...

Glad to know someone has "been there, done that" regarding a military water temp gauge retrofit into an 09...

Glad to help. Good luck. Search eBay for a HMMWV temperature sensor. You might get lucky.

Love this setup. Been reading a lot of threads about gauges and these are my favorite OE look so far. I see the water temp sensor online, how did you connect the oil pressure? Is this gauge mechanical or electric? If electric, would a standard GM gauge sensor work or does it have to be specific for this gauge?
