Yes! The base model Volvo 18 wheeler I drive doesn't even have a voltmeter gauge. That alone has screwed me over a couple times. And the oil psi and wanted temp gauges barely do anything.
This. I love having the voltage, temp, and oil pressure gauges in my truck and Jeep. After dealing with a lifter tick I was immensely grateful for the gauge as I was watching it constantly. I really wish my car had voltage and oil pressure gauges. In fact, I'd like to have all sorts of diagnostic gauges: Trans…
I like having both water and oil temp gauges (in my non-oil-cooled car). It's a very smart reminder that just because the engine and coolant are up to temp, the oil takes longer heat up and do it's job...so it's not wise to push the motor hard.
Which is why, if I want to drive quickly on public roads (erry day), I ride a motorcycle. Rev matching with one's wrist while braking with the fingers of same hand is its own special skill.
Thanks! They're pretty rare here in Brazil as well, if I remember correctly, there are no other Sedicivalvoles in the entire state. Mine's been in the family since my dad bought it new in 95, then passed it on to me in 2006 and I don't think I'll ever get rid of it.
