I wanted to come back and thank all who have put together the great info in this thread. Since installing my Smartcraft gauge I have gone through 2 spring seasons, a fall and a winter. It is comforting to know what to do to properly warm the motor up. It is also scary to realize that I ran it for many years not knowing the damage I could have caused. In addition monitoring the gauge tipped me off to stuck thermostats that I was able to clear.
Once again - thanks to all of you.

Thanks for all that info Sherm! Hoping you and yours are staying safe..
This is Mike who bought the 2013 P4 from you...any chance you are still having deals on the Merc monitor/smart gauges?

Sherm hasn't logged in since mid-January so you might want to contact him directly.
