What would be the expected result of running too low of water pressure for an extended time? Alarms and then shut down? Motor meltdown with no alarms? Something else?
The reason I ask, I have been trying to figure out why my motor keeps shutting down with no warning or alarms. The issue seemed to start after I got rearended in June but that might just be coincidence (impact was only at a couple mph). Dealer says motor is fine and prop shaft run out is great. I am running motor elevations similar to the rest of 2+2 owners are running (even to 1/2" above pad). I still have old school gauges and they have always read low but since everybody else is successful at those motor levels I was hoping it was just my water psi was off so I ran it. Also, since I am usually with friends and family I am usually under 60 mph which, from what I have been reading, will also keep the water pressure gauge reading low even though you are OK.
