    I feel like we have a dwindling community and no one wants to help each other. We should have a spot for write-ups for everything even a darn fuse. I only have access to all data 2 hours a day. I could print out and repost any thing as a write up

    I got the one for the top without the pigtails. Damn oreily's I said the one next to spark plug #1. This sensor is having a hard time coming out

    Testing Your Temperature Gauge Write-Up

    With the removal of the sensors you're just going to want to put a 19mm socket with a breaker bar. Pig tails can be ripped off in order to achieve this the sensor is bad anyway!!

    Testing Your Temperature Gauge Write-Up

    Replacing sensors The sensor next to the thermostat is WT3000 the sensor next to spark plug #1 is WT3025. Both are made by BWD, both are 19mm, and both need to be treated with an anti-seize agent. You can choose to drain or not drain the coolant but either way you will lose coolant.

    Extremely Low Temps

    I am going to replace the fan clutch, thermostat, and sensors. Then I will have an ENTIRELY new cooling system and if it still is acting up I'll crash it into a tree and get the insurance money.

    Testing Your Temperature Gauge Write-Up

    On the Vortec 350 engine there are two coolant temperature sensors. One for the PCM and one for the dash. #1 is for the PCM and by the thermostat. #2 is for the dash and is by sparkplug #1 but connected slightly higher than that...
