Gurus,
97 Newell Series 60 Detroit
At highway speed only temp gauge will jump up to about 220-230 but engine is NOT overheating as I have shot it numerous times with laser and block is 180-200, and if it was getting that hot the engine shutdown would activate. I have changed the sending unit on the engine,but no luck. Could this be a bad gauge in the dash? It only does this once you get to highway speeds over 50-60 MPH.
Has anyone else ever experienced this in the older Newell's with Series 60? Otherwise this engine has been bulletproof and runs great!!
Thanks,
