jdavidsmi Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hydraulics are the same in all directions, all the time. There is never a need to worry about orientation, unless you have trapped air. I got both oil pressure sensors on and working, hope I don’t have to pull the fuel pump anytime soon. As you can see it’s fairly close. This is the new temperature sensor This is the dash temperature sensor With my son leaving on Monday, going to spend the last few days they are here with them. I temporarily installed the wires for the volt meter under the dash, here are the gauges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there, done that with our daughter, and a week later we REALLY miss them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there, done that with our daughter, and a week later we REALLY miss them. Drove down to the transfer station, About 5 miles total this morning. The interesting thing is both gauges moved together. I was expecting the dash gauge to move as the motor warmed up and once the temperature was up to operation temperature the new gauge would move when the thermostat opened. Am I thinking about this wrong? I’m wondering if it even has a thermostat, or if it does is it even working. I have never noticed any issues with them motor staying cold, once in a while the temperature would be high, when the coolant had leaked down. Something to check next week.

It looks like either you don't have a thermostat or it is stuck open. I think you should be able to tell by pulling the radiator cap when the engine is cold and then starting it. You shouldn't see circulation in the radiator until the thermostat opens. But your sending unit is in the thermostat housing, right? The "gooseneck"?

That being the case, the only way I can see the new one responding quickly is if your 'stat is open or not even there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
