Installing new guage.
Leroy,
Contact Chuck at APT Instruments in Bloomington, Mn. about servicing Teleflex gauges 952-881-7095. Howard Truitt Camilla, Ga. 86 PT40 > > From: "Leroy Eckert" > Date: 2007/06/04 Mon AM 09:59:05 EDT > To: > Subject: Re: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Installing new guage. > > > I want to pass along information I am receiving from Teleflex, Bluebird and other suppliers I e-mailed over the weekend. Oil Temperature gauge 54438 Bluebird part number 3865334 shows to be in stock at Bluebird today. I will see if the indexing is the same when I receive it. According to Teleflex this and other Teleflex gauges Bluebird used are no longer in production and are no longer available if Bluebird does not have inventory. I am replacing 3 flakey gauges now while they are available. > Steve Birtles and I are searching for an instrument shop to rebuild the original gauges. I would like to keep my bird dash looking original. In the long term that may be difficult to do. > > Leroy Eckert > 1990WB-40"Smoke N Mirrors" > Niceville, FL > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: pattypape > To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Saturday, May 12, 2007 9:36 AM > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Installing new guage. > > > > Jim, > > Yep, that is the correct gage, Teleflex # 9153278. > > The BB# 54438 was still a good number, But > they shipped the updated 9153278 gage , Then the temp would read > really high, That is why there is a lot of confusion , when > replacing gages, the sensor must be replaced also. > I like the new scale for the oil temp,200 to 230 > Not so good for the rear axle because, it only heats up to about > 140 to 170. lowest part of the gage. > > Bill 88 FC Michigan > > --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, jim riordan > wrote: > > > > Thanks, > > > > The new guage is not a 54438 Earl said the did not maske it > anymore.
