yes i did consider that. in fact i am doing that for dual new engine temp sensors i am putting on a digital temp gauge to replace the hard to read analog one i have.
i called the manufacturers on the gauges i liked on the ability to switch between two thermocouples. the problem is that some of the gauges dont allow that and the ones that do require a calibrated gauge and wiring harness that i didnt want to spend 200 bucks on or wait for them. i only had a short window of two evenings to use the bus lift to get underneath.
so the gauge i am using, a isspro EV gauge has an amplifier you mount up front and will allow regular 16 gauge wires (2) to be run from front to rear with no calibration issues. their other gauges requried special harness and some of the other gauges wouldnt work at on on long runs like our units require.
as usual, i do things the hard way
later
