Hey, that's one I hadn't thought of, a rumble seat. Truly rumbly.

Follow up Q: what length lead gets you from the trans probe all the way to the dash unit? Thx...

Sodo's the man, great write up.

The inkbird unit rocks. Super quick refresh rate and very accurate. I disassembled my unit and resoldered the display on a ribbon cable so I could fit it where my dead clock was. It was pretty tedious but a perfect fit. It's been so worth knowing my gear oil temps especially with 6.17s

Old resurrection, but 20’ is great for sensor line lengths- for posterity

They can easily be extended with no degradation in the values.
