    Temp sender unit plug

    Thanks Koda. Ill let you know how everything goes with the install. On another note Im still on the lookout for the single wire plug. Hoping a few junk yards around here have some. I've struck out a few times already. Maybe someone on the forum is willing to sell one?

    Temp sender unit plug

    The new intake I got is from a 97 explorer, part number is correct. I'm replacing both because I already have the new intake to go in and I might as well replace the sensors since I was getting hot starting issues and someone mentioned that the ECT could cause this. They are relatively cheap and...

    Temp sender unit plug

    Ok I found this one http://imgur.com/a/e86c6 which is the one i bought. Rock Auto says its a SENDER pn:TS376. Then there is this one http://imgur.com/a/GITon PN:TX61 which says its a SENSOR. The only thing different about these two is the the tip is flat on the sender and somewhat pointy on the...

    Temp sender unit plug

    Gotcha. Well that makes sense considering I put a nice crack in my old one. What about the 2 sensors? Are they the same? Meaning I can buy 2 of the same sensor and put one in the ECT port and the other in the Temp sender port. Is that right? Also when it's tightened down it still leaves a bunch...

    Temp sender unit plug

    What about the sensors themselves? At the parts store it shows the same plug for both the ECT and Temp sending unit. Is there a specific sensor that I need for the ECT or are they both interchangeable? The one I bought is BWD WT724. It seems like it doesnt want to screw in all of the way into...

    Temp sender unit plug

    Im having a difficult time here trying to figure this out. Im trying to replace my temp sender unit which has the plug with ONE wire coming from it. The problem is the plug itself is broke and Im trying to find another one. I've been to multiple pick and pulls and haven't found a single one...

    Cracked lower manifold after ECT sensor install...

    Thanks a lot man. Every bit of information helps. There is a nice local pull a part in Greer which is only about a 20 minute drive from me. Ill check that place out but Im a little weary of getting one from a junkyard. I've been looking on eBay and a few other sites trying to find the best deal...

    Cracked lower manifold after ECT sensor install...

    Shucker1, yea it cracked at the threads. One crack went about 2 inches on the left side of the threads and another split right on the front. Basically when I tightened down the sensor I heard it crack and when i looked the cracks were split open as I was tightening down. Never had a leak there...

    Cracked lower manifold after ECT sensor install...

    This one looks like the one that I should have. Havent taken anything off yet but according to my research it should look like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Ford-GT40-Explorer-5-0L-Intake-manifold-/302140391116?hash=item4658f87ecc:g:rsoAAOSw44BYLLX2&vxp=mtr&rmvSB=true

    Cracked lower manifold after ECT sensor install...

    As the title says I have apparently cracked my lower intake manifold by tightening my ECT sensor to much. The weird thing is is that when I was tightening the sensor I was still able to see the threads when the intake cracked. Almost like the sensor was to long. It was a little bit longer than...
