Me quoating my self:
Quote:
I drove about 15 miles at 50 to 60 mph before the Hemi reached 179 deg. F. The car has a digital engine temperature read out so it is easy to read.
The Oops What a Dope Amendment Department:There are two things that I don't cope well with: firstly, early morning sans coffee; and hieroglyphics (don't ask my wife or she would add another hundred or so more to the list). The digital engine temperature reading I was so intently watching for ten miles before sun-up has turned out to be the engine oil temperature. This was confirmed this morning after six cups of coffee.
Is it too much to have two words on the "Read Out" that say: Oil Temp.? Hell's bells, the damn car can identify comedians, and names of songs spelled out in English that are playing on the radio, but has stupid icons depicting operational conditions of the engine. Little tea pots with bulb thermometers for oil temp... Two little LED's showing the heated seats are activated instead of an ass parked in a frying pan with flames under it, what gives here. But, over in the lower right hand corner of the gage cluster there is a nice plane old analog swinging needle temperature gage labeled H & C. I don't get it.
When one changes units dose the analog temperature gage read in metric, than English also?
Back to the maeculpa; the 300's coolant warmed up with in a few miles, however the individual thermostatically activated climate controls always hold off until conditions are met to blow nice hot air. This is rather frustrating while one's feet turn black from frost bite as this unseen black magic takes place.
Ted,
If our roads were not snow covered, impregnated with salt & sand, I would take the Dart out for a heater performance data gathering mission just for the fun of it all.
Nevermind, ment to be a joke.
