Problem solved!!!
I am only posting this very embarrassing event so that other can learn from a very stupid person. I will preface this buy saying this has been a 2 year build. During that time My wife had cancer and we went through a lot of chemo and radiation. My father had lymphoma and my mother had cervical cancer. All this while the corona virus was going around. My wife slept allot and I used the RV build to help occupy my time.
That being said the build was often stop and go and some details from 2 years ago I forgot. I was an Army pilot and have been a pilot for 35 years and counting. I have gone down in a helicopter 3 times and I have developed a deep desire to know what is going on with my engine. SO now I have a Digi panel, a WUD, OEM dash and a whole set of Stewart Warner Gauges.
I ran out of room for more gauges so I used one temperature gauge to monitor 3 items. Engine Oil, Trans Oil and Final Drive Oil. I forgot that I put the sender on the oil line coming from the engine and thought it was monitoring engine temp. It's not, it's monitoring engine oil temp.
There lies all my problems. In fact I have not had a problem. The one gauge which I thought might be out is actually doing what I set it up to do. I just forgot what I did. I need to label all my gauges.
Most importantly, Thank you guys for all your help and I apologize for taking up your time. The coach is actually running great. I hope this helps others, but mostly it keeps me humble.
Have a wonderful evening,
Tom K.
