Title: 300 temp problem
Post by: muddylandy on November 22, 2009, 18:22:09

went laning last night and noticed that when we were off road and at crawling speed that my temp gauge was reading nothing, but when we were on road sections the gauge went back up to just over the quarter mark, any one got any ideas ?
