Yes, I'm another devoted Engine Saver user. Have had them on my last 4 rigs and I'd never own a water cooled vehicle that isn't fitted with one.
As stated earlier, the temperature gauge isn't going to register any change if there is no coolant there in the first place.
Here is something that actually happened to me on my last trip to
Cape York....
We spent a night camped at Dulhunty River after a day of toiling up the OTT. In the morning when i started the Patrol, the low water alarm went off it's nut. I stopped the engine and found that the bottom radiator mounting spigots (on a PWR large alloy radiator) had failed and punctured the lower tank...I lost all my coolant. Obviously this gave me the opportunity to make temporary repairs to get me to Seisa where I had it repaired properly.
Without the low water alarm, I would have started up and driven off; would never have known there was a problem until the engine seized I reckon.
To top it all off, the owner (David Jones) seems like a great bloke, judging from the service and discussions I've had with him over the years....he is always willing to have a chat and sort out your needs personally.
I have no affiliation with this product or the firm that sells them...just a great Aussie product that WORKS!!!! ;-)
