A reason to Go Parts Shopping @ The Yards

What the hell are these switches made out of.. Gold or silver or what. Mine has been dropping out way befor 120 degrees and is getting lower and lower when it drops out. I know what I'm going to be "collecting" at the wrecking yards from now on..

Well isn't that special.. I figured someone was attempting to overcharge for that simple sender. I still can't see spending that amount when they are nearly free in the pick n pulls round here..
Thanks again for finding a cheaper listing. Probably might even find it on ebay too.

I don't know how puredieselpower stays in business. They're sky high on everything I've ever checked.

I got some free. New in IH boxes

OK, Gary... plz clue me. The Puredieselpower description says this switch screws into the water pump? Every water pump I've ever seen on these engines just has a plug in that hole.

And I can't find this switch on any diagrams I'm looking at. (Total coincidence?: I have no fast idle at startup since last engine re-install....)

This is the switch just behind the thermostat housing.

Well Gary, you can plainly see it's made out of GOLD.

Bit of a hunt in my tight compartment, but, D'OH!!!!!

Unplugged.

Um, er.... thanks, gentlemen.

 

[icanfixall]

Unplugged.. Well sometimes the pressure of all the electrons going thru the plug and wires will blow them off the senders.... Said with tounge in cheek.. Well at least it was an inexpensive fix for you.

Thx much, Gary. Yeah, as I stare a plastic tub full of waiting parts and brace for a visit to the block & head shop with a leaky exhaust valve (well past 6 month warranty), nice to have a quick-n-easy fix.

I, too, will nab a few of these little switches at PnP. Only encountered 1 IDI between 2 locations in recent days, though.

I do have a return leak right next to that plug, so I could just say it slipped off cuz it was oily around there..... (Yeah, right!)
