I'm looking for tech info about various aftermarket gauges that can be installed on the Ranger 500. I remember seeing a thread about this here before (I think) but I can't find it now. Tried Search but to no avail.

I also want the locations of ports on the motor that would serve various gauges (tach, oil pressure, water temp, etc). Any info (and even pics) or reference to it would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Matt

Here's the gauge setup in my XP. The voltage gauge connects to the battery (or the term block close to be battery), the water temp gauge connects to the sender located in the thermostat housing (I've heard it's the same for the 500). Good luck, Mike

Matt, Randy from Wisconsin is the one (or one of the ones) that did a very nice install. I'm not sure how to find it but I am sure you can contact him on the board. he is always doing something and is easy to find..........

Thanks, that helps... I wish I could remember one particular thread where someone made a 3-gauge bezel mounted under the shift lever... Can't find that one now.

A couple more questions:

- Can anyone tell me the best place to hook up an oil pressure gauge on a 500?

- Also, it seems my thermostat housing has a plug on the corner of the cover, similar to what would come with the gauge kit mentioned above. Is that similar to what I would get with the modified housing, or is it for something else?

I have a 2005 Ranger 500.

Thanks, Matt
