As long as you use the sending unit that comes with the new gauge it should work fine. If you reuse the old sending unit you may not get a correct reading.

Check the price on the genuine parts too, i found the gague and sender to be very reasonable from the dealer.
If you go the aftermarket route, i too see no problem with it, as long as the sender fits the threads in the thermostat housing.
