Temperature sensor modification - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This is a great idea and you are a good man for doing this for folks! It's guys like you that make this place great. I wish there was an option for the LS guys besides drilling and tapping the heads. I'm surprised that no one has found a metric sender that will work. That would definitely be the easiest route.

I still have several of these that are ready to ship....if anyone needs one
I can make more if necessary

**CUSTOM/10** · 02-03-2019, 10:38 AM

I will take one, if you have anymore? My pm box is currently full so I need to empty it or update my subscription, I’ll try and get that taken care of today.

I know Teflon tape is not recommended, what do you suggest for coating the threads of the sensor?

You can use teflon tape but sometimes it won't allow it to ground very well..the sensor needs to ground to the head for it to read properly
I use a little dab of pipe sealing compound...

**A1971Blazer** · 01-30-2020, 08:41 AM

I'm not pushing these....they aren't a big money-maker for me
I mainly do them just as a way to help solve an issue.
I have 9 in stock....ready to ship if anyone needs one.

I just saw this after sending you a PM. I'll send paypal right away.

tdangle · 02-04-2020, 12:08 AM

Got mine today. Looks perfect. You provide a great service modifying this as there really are no options. Again Thank you!!

kglowacky · 10-18-2020, 10:07 AM

for LS owners. I bought a Classic Instruments Sender SN12MM that screwed right into my existing LS head and it works fine. I don't know if it is exact but it reads about 1/2 on gauge runs up to 3/4 and fans come on (at 207degrees) and it drops to 1/2 on gauge and the fans go off. I am real happy with it.

lutronjim · 10-18-2020, 10:30 PM

What is tour trucks year? I am unclear how the gauges have changed - I know the sensors have.

Thanks

kglowacky · 10-19-2020, 02:44 AM

1978 Silverado. original gauges, 2001 LS1

Have several people looking to get one of these modified senders
I ordered 10 more but unfortunately they went up in price

The last ones, I was able to sell at $40.00 shipped
They will be $45.00 now, that's a brand new AcDelco G1852 sender and shipping
Should have them in about a week or so.
