Looking for water temp gauge for Ford 4400

[Hawkeye3828]

Hey guys, I am looking for a water temp gauge to replace the one in the dashboard that is included with the instrument group. The instrument group on my tractor is kaput and I am not spending almost $200 to replace it. I am going to mount it in the dash with the oil press and ammeter gauges. I bought a sending unit before I realized how bad the instrument cluster was, but I can't find a gauge to go with the sending unit. All the gauges I am seeing have the sending unit with cap tube, which is fine, but I don't know which one to get to fit in the place where the sending unit is now. If any of you can advise me on which gauge and where to get it I would appreciate it. 2" gauge is fine with 36" cap tube, or a gauge that actually will work with the new sending unit(electrical) would be better. I can not seem to find a 2" electrical water temp gauge or any electrical water temp gauge for that matter. There must be something I can substitute but I am not experienced enough to know. Thanks for all your help.

This is a two inch gauge. Most gauges come with their own sender and should fit most blocks.

Qapla, thanks for the reply. Does your tractor have a 12 volt system? Did this gauge have a wire with a female spade connector on it which connected to the included sending unit? It sounds like it came with a sending unit but if the sending unit does not fit the block port, which looks like a 1/8th NPT thread, I would need to use the new sending unit I have already bought and installed. That is why I am asking about female spade connector.

I do not own one of these gauges, just saw that they sell them. If your local Walmart carries them, just go into the store and look in the box. Walmart is very tolerant of people opening packages.
