add 40 to 110? your message is hard to read but i assume you mean it reads 40 on its own. new gauge buddy.

cheers mate. i fugured it out, i think. it didnt have a good negative connection. Do you by any chance know what the running temp of a vy gen 3 is?? it seems to be up round the 89-95 mark and the thermo fan doesnt seem to kick in till bout 110. does that sound bout right? or maybe gauge or sensor is screwed. thanks bud
