a long long time ago i posted something about my speedometer being about 5-7 mph off. Turns out, the tach is too, i think by a couple hundred rpm....like 100 to 200ish i think. My OBDII scanner shows the truth. 72 mph on the scanner = about 77 on the speedo. Now i know coolant temp gauges arent to be trusted at all. My temp went from a steady 180-183 driving, to about 223 sitting still and the needle never moved. I had one of the fans removed cuz i was trying to see how much of a difference it would make with only one since im plannin on switch to a FAL slim line....afterwards i realized the other side wasn't plugged in :oops: Forgot about that from the other day. Its amazing how fast one drops the temp. Anyways, i just felt like i'd share that with you guys.
