Re: Dangers in running too cool?

["Craig Williams" <roccolister@hotmail.com>]

Rich,

Randy-B's car always does this too, and my advice, which he has yet to
follow, is to install a temp gauge that will actually tell you something.
Install a temp gauge with numbers on it so you will actually know what temp.
you are running instead of, "it's half-way to the led." Who knows what that
means???? You may be running just fine, but you'll never know it with that
piece of junk gauge in the dash cluster.

My $.02
