Hi everyone,
Recently installed my digipanel which I have had for a couple of years and finally got installed. Tonite we drove about an hour to eat and I noticed that it ran yellow on engine temperature for almost the entire trip and back. Some interesting things: 1) alarm went off about 25 minutes into the trip when coasting through a small town but quickly subsided when coach idled. 2) previous owner installed a stop cock to shut off what I call the heater box under the hood as PO said it helped him cool the rig in summer. Since it was a rather cool evening I stopped and opened the stop cock thinking that allowing heat would maybe cool the engine down but it did not. It seemed to run green when idling but once up to speed went to yellow. I do have a guage that I believe is working but doesn't move and doesn't show hot at all. I am wondering if it is normal for the digipanel to show yellow? My overflow tank is full. Just wondering if anyone can offer me any ideas. Thank you
