Stock Gauge Is Worthless - VDO is not
Daylight:
Nighttime:
Adapter:
What was learned?
1 - Stock gauge shows straight up and down... VDO shows ~140
2 - If you get in "dirty" air on the highway or tailgate the temp rises a bit. Jump out into clean air and you get lower temps
Put in a new radiator while I was at it.
