So I picked up a couple SW gauges and installed them. This is a project so I didn't actually get familiar with them till this spring. Both read 140 on short runs, then just recently one quit working (0) and the other pegs at 140 every time. My infrared gun says 160 after a 20 miles, but the one working gauge is 140 still and other doesnt pick up at all. Infrared gun is good.

So is there any recourse since these are a yr old buy for a project? Speedway bought. Or no

Is this common now with SW gauges? I have an old oil SW and a tri gauge setup under the dash, wanted them all the same. Certainly not a fan of the autometer in the looks department in this setup.

Guess I'm just venting.
