New OP Gauge

Look what FedEx just dropped off. A late Xmas gift :banana:

Hopefully the new Oil Pressure Gauge w/Warning Light will prevent yet another blown engine.

Check it out

What are you complaining about.. you mean you don't like the fact that the oil pressure and temp gauges havent moved since the day you got your car?? I think its awesome. My pressure is always perfect... and i never overheat.. even when my oil runs out and busts a rod and i end up paying 4 grand for a new cobra motor... my gauges still said everything was perfect. Must have been a random freak moment that the piston siezed up in the cylinder.

Actually my Oil Pressure Gauge dropped off to zero seconds before my second engine blew. Unfortunately I was on track running approximately 6,000 rpms.

Thanks for the warning Ford Factory Gauges :fm:

p.s. The only time I saw my coolant gauge rise was after I threw a coolant hose and was pumping dry :mj:

Hey, at least you have seen movement. My gf has a miata.. i hate driving the thing but ill tell you what.. her oil pressure gauge actually moves around like an rpm gauge. I almost shit a brick when I drove it for the first time.. I said man... why cant i have an accurate op gauge.. guess its because it was made by a foriegn company.

Ford went stupid w/the gauge cluster. My Suburban has a properly functioning oil pressure gauge and volt meter.

Just for clarification, you were referencing the factory oil pressure/dash gauge in your post above, right? :??:

BTW - Where at? Gingerman? Waterford Hills?

Yes, I was referencing the factory dash gauge. The oil pump let go at Gingerman at the SCMC event in September '09.

Nice looking product, Jeff. Where are you going to place that? Vents or radio delete?

Hey keep us updated, let us know if you get accurate readings.

There is currently a big hole where the radio used to be, it's going there.
