Temp gauge wont move until over 110 degrees or something. You wouldn't know unless you have an aftermarket gauge.

It will still go at speed. I was towing a trailer when mine started. I have my MADMAN gauge set very low at 95 degrees. The alarm very rarely goes off but when it does, there is usually a reason of heavy accelleration or something. On this occasion, I hadn't done anything, just running along at 100km/h on cruise control and it went in to alarm. I knew something was up but didn't know what. As soon as I slowed I found the rough running. I limped into mobile range and started a urgent help thread on here and it was with help from members on here, I found the problem. First thoughts were fuel pump but I was sure the miss was only on one cylinder. Not a good problem when it's night time in a strange outback country town.

Happy Days.

What do you mean "had the loom tested"? Which loom? Injector or Main.
There is a good write up somewhere on the main loom chafing causing all manner of faults, some logged others not.

CDL installation - was this cables only or the complete front extension from the transfer?
A ham fisted type could damage wiring around the CKP or disturb an already chafing loom.
