Re: Daverods project 66
JB weld would work, but it's getto. If not cleaned up right you could have it fall off and get stuck. How much is a new sending unit?

Re: Daverods project 66
I think that is pretty common.
you could probably braze it with a propane torch.

Re: Daverods project 66
My green temp light comes on when I start up then it goes out after a couple minutes. Is this normal? I'm thinking that maybe it's overheating and the red bulb is burnt out. It doesn't seem hot. Went to swap bulbs did'nt even have a red bulb wrecked the green one getting it out. Guess I'm off to get some bulbs.

Re: Daverods project 66
cool man, brazing and soldering are pretty much the same idea, typically when you solder you use an iron and solder, brazing you use a torch and some type of filler rod.

Re: Daverods project 66

Re: Daverods project 66
Well, the green light works? Except when the red bulb is pluged in. If I take the red bulb out the green works.

Re: Daverods project 66
Ordinarily a temperature sending unit has only one wire. Looks like that one has 2 or 3 wires? I don't know what else it would be being it is in the coolant.

Re: Daverods project 66
It has 2 wires and it looks like it goes in the coolant. When I wiggle it it makes my temp warning lights (green/red) blink on and off. I think it's bad and I need a new one.

Re: Daverods project 66
My water bill was 120 last month and mine still isn't that green. I guess my yard is bigger!

Re: Daverods project 66
I have 1 acre of land. There's no way I'm putting grass on it. I even sold my almost new lawn mower from when we lived in Vegas 4 years ago. I don't know what our water bill is, but I know it's ridiculously low.

Re: Daverods project 66
I need to know where I can get a new cap for the end of my manual steering gear. I have an old gear box but I don't know how to get the cap off. The one on my truck is missing. I don't want to swap out the whole gear box if I can just get the cap off and put it on the one thats already on my truck.

Re: Daverods project 66
BTW I agree with the freeze plug. Here's a little tip. Put the freeze plug in with the cup facing out, and tap the center with a hammer. I said TAP, not HIT, like a small dent. That spreads the plug to seal it better.
