Temp gauge sensor install.? Where to put it?

[vaicase]

O.k. i do not trust my factory gauge. I bought a aftermarket kit. Where do i put the sensor? Now do i put it in the front lefthead, where the factory is? Or put it somewhere else? Like in the front by the top of water pump? Thank you so much

O.k. Well i put the new probe in the same place. And i got the same results. This truck will not get hotter than 185. I have 2 195 thermostats. It will not get hot. Even when i lived in kansas hauling on hot days, It would not get hotter than 190. I even took the fan off a couple of months ago. It must be the thermostats? I put them in new in 2011. What is the best. Ac delco's are 60 a peice at the dealer. Does that sound right? Thanks

I can't find them on Leroy's site but IIRC he had AC Delco T stats for a reasonable price.
