I did a search for engine temp gauges here in the forum, and landed on this page. Imagine my surprise when i was looking at a photo of the Newell classic gauge in guestion, and it was our coach, complete with red tape over the 190 area. We aborted a trip early this summer over highway 17 from Phoenix to Flagstaff. Got about 30 miles up and I was past the " red line." Highway 17 is 2 lanes each way with some brutal grades, and very very few pull outs. We went back down the hill and took 10 east, and as they say, lived to fight another day. Todd had told me all of the facts in this thread before we purchased his coach , so kudos to Flick for being the most straight up guy ever!! I now understand if I am going to limit my driving to 190 degrees or less engine temp, I might be having to about more trips in the future. I also have never removed that red tape, but I guess it is about time The digi panel still reads 10 to 15 degree lower than the analog gauge. It could be that I am beginning to panic at 175-180 not 190... BTW, still need advise if any of you have ever lifted up the driver control panel in a "classic. Something is restricting the lift, be it spedo cable, tach cable etc.
