G'day Dennis
I wouldn't want the engine to boiling point, I presume you mean of
water and not coolant. In fact I want to be warned before it gets to boiling so a test in boiling
water is a test. but it means the engine has to get to that too to make the water/coolant (which won't be boiling) that hot.
Having coolant loss detection and also the temp warning of the block is also a good backup.
I would like to have a temp sensor in the bottom
tank so I know how close to maximum ability the system is running at and when towing/heavy loads it will indicate the closeness to the max which the system is operating.
This is particularly important if the truck is also an auto and the auto heat is being dumped into the bottom
tank as
well. Then engine load/heat output and auto heat output can abruptly raise the cooling system temp when the
hill appears or the tail wind changes things.
Being able to track or have warning of that is, to me a primary thing.
The triple ability you have is quite ok but there is more in the early warning aspect if you are monitoring or require the awareness as the triple is sort of after the fact not during the occurrence.
All the best with it. Many have nothing much at all.
