    I forgot to mention shift lights in drag racing.lol

    Thats what I go by also, as does a lot of people.

    And your right... being tired vs rested makes a world of difference

    You must be a tech. Dont know how many apprentices I've explained that one to. They cant understand how it overheated and blew up without the temp light coming on. Big loss of coolant or airlock and the temp sensor has no coolant to get a reading off. No indication and boom a new motor. I enjoy your posts.

    gauges are good. I think its money well spent.
    Just another way to monitor what is going on with your ride.
