Thread: Temp Gauges question

personally I'g gp the 'enginesaver' alarm that fits into the radiator hose and ativates when coolant itself is lost. mine works great. have never heard of these but the idea that it works on block temp suggests that some damage may be done before it actually goes off whereas he other goes off as soon as coolant is lost.

i Think this one would tell if the etc. oil cooler was to go. i think ill get one but ill probably get a enginesaver also later.
Thanks

I considered that one but the motor can overheat without losing coolant. Mine overheated due to the radiator core being blocked (externally) with mud (my fault). Still plenty of coolant in there. Ideally you need a proper temp gauge.
