I installed one of the Autometer 7537 gauges and now am confused.
Even after driving it way faster than I should be, all I can get the temp up to is 155. This is confirmed with a laser temp guage. Other that the exhaust manifold, the highest temp I could get on the engine was 159. Outside temp was a perfect sunny 60 degrees.
This is my first diesel engine so please forgive my ignorance.
The question is: shouldn't it get hotter than that? Did someone in India leave my thermostat out? Yes I have been to lazy to see if there is a thermostat in the engine.
