Took the Coach for a ride today just to see if there was any difference in what the OEM gauges stated and the new. Engine fully warmed up.
New Old
Idle 55MPH Idle 55MPH
Oil Pressure 20 40 High High
Water Temp 185-195 3/4
Voltmeter 13 1/2 Light Glow
Vacuum Idle in Neutral 17, in gear Idle 14, WOT 0-2, CC @55MPH 17

Need to look at the Alternator, believe it should be 14+. the Oil Pressure at cold start was 50. The Water temp cycled back and forth from 185, never above 195. The Vacuum seems low too, maybe a leak?
