Aftermarket temperature alarm

After reading all the posts about overheating, and danadog's recent problems, I once again am thinking about a good temp alarm. I know that you should not depend on them, but if I could get one that I could set at about 200 degrees, it sure would be nice to know I had the backup. Anyone know of any good ones out there.

try your local NAPA store there stuff is usually resonably priced and pretty bulletproof.

Yes , if I can I would like to hook in with the gauge. It would be nice though to have something adjustable so it could be tested from time to time with a lower temp setting, that way you will not find out that it does not work by burning up your engine.

Yes What??? a 2nd gauge? So you want it to be able to adj it?

What are you going to use to find the true temp a 3rd gauge and what is to say that one is off. JM2C if you buy a good gauge or a sending unit to set off a buzzer you should be good to go. Just ask for a high end set up.

Just for clarity...An alarm uses a temperature switch vs. a sending unit used by a gauge. A sending unit sends a milli-amp signal which the gauge reads and displays as a given temperature (I know, over-simplified but you get the idea). A temperature switch is just that, a switch. It opens (or closes) a circuit based on a given temp being reached which triggers an alarm or light (or both).
