    18-19MPH. The EMP waterpump and 180 stat may have something to do with that.

    At 20 mph. I have a scangauge II, even when the water temp has reached 205-210 on a hot summer day the temp gauge still points at 20 mph. The only time it's been higher than that is when my fan relay module fried and I shut the car down right away and let it cool off for a while before making my way to the dealer for a replacement.

    Very interesting so far that they all for the most part point the same.

    Yup! Very similar to the dummy oil pressure gauge. By the time you see it floating in the red, shut it down, pop the hood and let her cool. Then burp her.

    I would say they are similar, I have an aeroforce gauge and watching both i can tell the difference between 168* which is cruising and 210* in traffic on summer days.

    Now that is interesting, as I was starting to figure that it was just a dummy gauge.

    AeroForce ranges between 174 and 182* normally, that translates into 17-18 mph on the speedometer.
