C300 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Got 4 different ones. napa, carquest. 2 from autozone, lifetime warranty. spec says opens between 184-196f. this opens at 192f and194F. almost same as stock high sensor.car now runs at 3/4 gauge hot before starting fan. before at 1/3 of gauge. never above 1/2. cracked the head when i got it that hot in traffic.the new high temp ones open at 203-toast. The car has NO wiring issues or bad grounds, just a sensor that opens at too high a temp. (in water on stove) called the manufacturers. they no makey. said they make one sensor that fits all applications. and new cars run hotter.same sensor for 55-83 corvettes. same problem tech guy said. Who has the correct temp sensor ?what do you all use ?if i have to, i'll cut the connector off a car at the boneyard and splice it to fit another style. thanks C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C300 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 when i got my '87, they replaced this sensor 'bout 20 times under warranty. the two cracked heads also. never had one last more than 10 months on a daily driver. hope it's not the only game in town ! No warranty... thanks C300 Wish i had the money i spent on all the sensors i replaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
