I checked with the parts depth on the oil temp
That's what I think.
Some years ago, a young and broke me was driving to rural Oklahoma for my first duty station and I was in a 88 Crown Vic I had rebuilt myself over the summer. The coolant hose snapped loose when I accelerated onto I35 out of Dallas and I sprayed steam everywhere. I limped it with no coolant to a gas station where I managed to let it cool, refill it, and continued driving.
I never thought of that, ditto for people with a second Long Range Battery.
Thankfully my instinct to read the whole thread before speculating that a rare casting flaw was the cause, unlikely that is the issue at hand
!!
"OR" logic would negate the need for separate temp gauges, either unit overheats should indicate the problem is present.
The motor self destructed on my initial test drive when I went to buy it. The hole story... On the day of purchase I went to the dealer took the truck for a test drive while driving it I heard a noise from the front motor area but the noise went away. After the purchase and getting home the dealer called and said there was a puddle of red fluid on the ground where the truck was parked , he said keep an eye on it. 876 miles later I went back to the service dept. and they found the hole. That's the hole story,it goes to show you can drive them without fluid .Thankfully my instinct to read the whole thread before speculating that a rare casting flaw was the cause, unlikely that is the issue at hand
I agree.
WOW, back to rare manufacturing defect that presented itself on your test drive, this needs Factory Engineer Analysis once the R&R is completed!
Yes the engineers are asking questions.
Well-played, sir!
Question 1: Did Bob forget to install the drain plug again?
BOBS on vacation.
