The problem is there is no indication of the coolant temp so you're essentially driving blind. If you get an overheating warning you need to stop. I think there are a large number of folks who don't understand that they're looking at oil temp which is a completely different operating range than coolant. I also have a feeling many folks don't realize that the electric water pump doesn't run constantly while the motor is running...
