Default Water Temp. Gauge Install

Hey guys, recently I've been having some overheating problems but I think it's the stock gauge that sucks. Any help on how to install a Water Temp. Gauge? If you have pics that would be great!

Heating problems sucks dude, however i think replacing the gauge is the last thing you need to replace. Unless your needle does not move or is stuck i would think that it is operating fine. Start looking at other alternatives

Sure you don't have head gasket problems? Very common for your year.

Well I'm not replacing the stock gauge, what I want do is install an aftermarket gauge, one that tells the actual temperature.

And the car isn't exactly overheating but the temperature reaches past halfway around 3/4 on the stock gauge so I just think the gauge is faulty
