I am in the process of hooking up a new engine water temperature gauge.
The manufacture, maxxtow, recommends to put the sending unit in the radiator. I have the aluminum radiator and it has a port to accept the sending unit.
Our stock system has the sending unit in the intake manifold.

Is there a advantage in having the sending unit in the rad? Is the intake manifold still the best location?
Or run the new gauge with the probe in the rad, and leave the stock gauge as is?

Opinions? Recommendations?
Thanks, Scott
