Not if you pay attention to the gauge and fix what ever is causing the
temperture to go up. :)

No if you pay attention to the gauge and fix what ever is causing the oil
pressure to drop. :)
<<--- voltmeter --- I like them because if monitered, you can see a problem

coming on PIECES a week before I left for my Wisconsin trip. If I had no
voltmeter, I would have been looking for an alternator somewhere in Ohio.
The gauge read 10 volts, the ignition light was working properly, the
alternator was crapping out but not yet dead.>>
Glad to hear someone got some use out of a volt meter. We fried three
alternators on one car with a factory installed volt meter and it never moved
until I was running off of the batteries with dim headlights.
Flame suit still on.
