Dakota Digital Gauges
Looking info from those that have might know if there is an alternative location for DDG's oil temp sensor. I called the factory and confirmed the sensor goes in the oil drain plug. I don't like the idea of taking the sensor out every time I change the oil.

I'm lookin at one and the website description gives a couple options. I have not called and talked to tech about it. Here is what they post on the website.
This is in reference to using it with their speedometer.
Oil temperature sensor screws into crankcase, oil reserve tank or oil line (when using appropriate fittings)

you're welcome, I suspected a change... but at least you now know how it was done Oct 2020 (when I got mine).

I believe they have two sensors now. The MLX-8414 kit comes with the one that will fit without an adapter and is 3/8" male NPT.
I have the gauges sitting on my bench waiting for me to find some time to get the install completed.
