Default Real Gauge - Real life testimonial

A couple months ago I purchased the full real gauge kit from JagWrangler and have enjoyed watching the real engine temperature over the summer months.

Today, while driving along the real gauge alarm went off and I immediately looked at the temperature gauge which reported everything was fine. A quick glance at the oil gauge showed 0 PSI. I quickly pulled over and shut the engine down and discovered ~7quarts of oil was sprayed all over the engine compartment from a burst oil cooler hose.

The oil pressure light in the cluster never illuminated, my only indication of massive pressure and fluid loss was the real gauge alarm and pressure gauge.

Seemed like a sound investment a couple months ago.... now I am certain it was cheep insurance.
