Thank you for this video. My family is going through a financial transition right now and the truck needed to have the coolant sensor switched. It didn’t drive all the way down. And this answered my question. Unfortunately I broke the sensor off so I have to take manifold off now. Praying we have it done in time. Thank you again I will be watching your extraction video
Thanks for this tip! Watched another video where the guy used tape, so that's what I did and the temp gauge keeps going up even though the van's not running. Gonna try this and see if it fixes that!
You have to use Tape on NPT fuel pump fittings in older trucks with mechanical fuel pumps. The NPT fittings will leak if you don't. That's why they changed the fittings to NPTF fittings because tape wears down and gets inside your fuel pump) engine etc ..use PTFE tape if you have NPT fittings. Don't if it's NPTF.....the threads are made to bind and seal on NPTF fittings.
With that plug can you run a radiator fan and coolant gauge? what wires to which device? I have an older 350 with only a single port on the intake manifold.
with this adapter the reading will be wrong... as not all the sender is in the water enough... you have to have it lower in the water... you need a bigger base on the sender... I did this,, and my gauge reads too high
They both do the same job, It’s just a matter of preference of the installer! I would not worry or change it unless you have a leak! I personally used Teflon tape on my sending units when I installed them in my 1993 cobra back in 1995! Here we are in 2000 and20 and they have never leaked! If installed correctly you should have no worries!
And get ready to break off the sensor (it's hollow) when trying to remove it if you use this sealant. (I used it, and taking it out, snapped it right off at the base) .
Good thing I have a video on here with 2.7million views on how to remove a snapped off brass sensor from an engine. Lol. Might be able to make another vid.
Hey everyone I'm looking for a little help trying to restore my wife's 68 Camaro finally got most everything working again and running , one problem I'm having is as soon as I turn the key the temp light on dash comes on and stays on. Car is not overheating and runs great. Now you would think the temp sensor but for the life of me I cannot find the temp sensor there is nothing on the block or on top of the coolant thermostat housing. Any ideas ? It should be located driver side between the block or head and the master break cylinder. Please help
question . if u tight sensor in toooo much will that hurt it ? and i did i short my ecu out u think ? cause i didnt unplug battery . i cant get sensor to work . i thought maybe prongs were dirty they were lil wet from alil coolant mishap i had lil spill on it i think .
Why do you use thread sealant? Most videos would be great if people explained the "whys and wherefores" of doing something. And the reason WHY you put sealant is because....
