Can anyone help me to locate a new temperature sensor...I think it fit's into the expansion tank rather the the block
Sigh......
I’ve reviewed the 15 pages on this thread. Here’s what has been noted about the location of the coolant temp sensor……..
Dean,
have you confirmed the temp sensor is located in the block? The stock location was - incorrectly - in the pressure tank.

Hi Dean,
Here's where the temp sender SHOULD be located or moved to, in the block directly beneath the thermostat

one day later, Dean posted:
the sensor is on the expansion tank and that was cool to the touch,
-------------------
A week later, Dean wrote:
they couldn't find anything wrong with the cooling system other than the temp sensor in the tank is suspect so they ordered another
------------------
The temp sensor should be relocated to the block, this is a standard modification and I believe one of the original TSB's (Technical Service Bulletins).
--------------------
First, does your shop know the proper place for the replacement sender IS NOT IN THE TANK? I hope so.
Second, what in Heaven's name were we trying to solve for the last 12 pages?
We mentioned the incorrect in-the-tank sender issue pages ago.
----------------------
Take the freakin' thing out of the tank. Plug the tank. Install the sender into the engine where it belongs.

And yet, Dean still is asking:
