aulty gauges can lead to expensive repairs down the road.
An engine gauge, warning light or dashboard indicator keeps the driver or operator
aware of critical machine functions. For a gauge to be serviced, two things have to happen:
First, the driver has to report the problem.
Second, the mechanic has to fix the problem.
Think about how often a vehicle is handed off to another driver for another mission.
That means a neglected or ignored gauge can be a bad surprise for the next driver!
An engine can break down in the middle of nowhere just because its oil pressure gauge
bit the dust a while back and wasn’t reported. That $45 gauge ends up costing your unit
$30,000 to replace the engine!
Fixing or replacing that gauge is a key part of preventive maintenance. It keeps the
vehicle running safely and prevents expensive repairs. So don’t ignore a bad gauge.
