Installing new guage.

[jim riordan]

Thanks,

The new guage is not a 54438 Earl said the did not maske it anymore. He sent
me a "superseded" one the index numbers were different. He sent me a new sensor
it was for the old type guage it was reading 40% high. I called Teleflex spoke
to Joe Federsal (great help) he sent me the correct sensor for the guage that I
got from earl, everything seems to work now. This new guage 9153278 is improved
in that it first register point is at 140 rather than 100, top is 320 like the
old one. the end result is that the gauge will provide more accurate readings in
the operational range than the old one. I hope!

Jim,

I replaced both oil temp gages on our 88 FC ( 3208 oil and rear axle
temps) BB gage part number 54438, It is a Teleflex gage.

If this is your gage the temp sensor is a Stewart-Warner, part
number 280EEF . It is available at truck parts stores. It has
several threaded bushings for all thread sizes, One will match the
original threads. BB did not have the correct sensor.
