240-250* on the gauge in 90* temperatures

Since the harness I used was for a Pete glider I never got around to moving the gauge wires. They’re virtual gauges on the nav screen. However there are 2-3 other setups identical to mine and they don’t have temp issues so until it starts puking oil out of the seals......
Friend had 9 coal trucks in eastern KY for years and said 90% had the lines looped. So if they can load 50 ton in a bucket and roll through the mountains, mine should live an easy life.

I figured you'd tell me something like that...problem is my driver has a gauge and won't let me take it out now, so I'll have to get more cooler in it. I have asked him 5 times what happens if he backs down a gear and rolls on with no response.
