It looks as those would be the the sensor and sender.

They are new

Can you put a aftermarket temperature gauge on it

 

[Bgunner]

Without a wiring diagram I can not tell you which one is which. Maybe someone else here knows.

 

[Bgunner]

Yes it is possible and not that hard. Just need to find a good spot to mount it.

How do you said to see if the gauge will move

Youll need to figure out which wire goes to the gauge, and ground it out against something metal to see if the gauge pegs on "H".

Do you have to take off the cluster to find the wire

 

[Bgunner]

No, removal of the guage cluster is not necessary to ground it at the sender. Purchase a Haynes or Chilton manual and look in the wiring diagrams for which wire you need to ground.

If the guage does not move then removal of the guage cluster will be necessary to test for a bad wire leading to the guage.

How can you tell you got a bad gauge

 

[Bgunner]

If you ground the guage at the back of the guage cluster and it does not move the guage is bad.
