2005 VMAX, not really trouble with motor as it runs great and after 30min of running on water hose it stays cool but I can't get a reading on pressure gauge. I am thinking about just changing gauge but I was told that there is a good chance the poppet has trash in it. The gauge will not move idleing or running off "0" but I also notice that if I disconnect gauge line at engine it does not look like much water pressure there, it does have water pushing out of fitting and it runs down engine but I thought it would have pressure there like at pee-hole, am I thinking right or should pressure be less on top at fitting?
