    it sounds like your guage grounding,try running a wire.from back of guage,and touch it to something steel inside dash..also its hard to get the engines to build up any heat,,without a load...sometimes about 140 is all they will hit..good luck...bob

    also generally,when it looks like thier going from 2nd to 4th,on the augsilary its an overdrive transmission ,thats the way thier setup thier actually going from lo to direct,then the up position is overdrive,good luck bob
  25. mowerman
    the reason for that,is its the same gear ratio as the gear you were in..such as the ten speed duplex,generally you skip 5th low,and go from 4th hi,to 5th hi..if you try to go from 4th hi,to 5th lo,its like going back to 4th hi,you dont gain anything,,now how confused are you???????lol,hopefully that all made sence,,,good luck...bob
