    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    Thanks for the pictures. It was helpful. I’m still waiting on some parts but I can get to working on the bracket today. Did you have any trouble out of the transmission vacuum line that runs over the passenger side rear port for the paradox system? also, does the desert turtle have an...

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    I just received the hmmwv crossover today. I thought the threaded port going to the water pump was going to be 1/2”NPT. But it seems bigger. Do you happen to know what it is? Also aren’t the other ports on the top of the crossover 1/2” NPT?

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    Thanks Sharecropper, i looked thru the TM's and didn't see it listed in the parts manual. is there a better manual? Edit: I found the correct manual that shows this sensor. Sorry to bother with a dumb question

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    Thanks! You don't need approval to view the thread, however you need approval to see the pictures in full size. Otherwise, they end up being 1" squares on your screen that you can't enlarge. Interesting build you have there. I am interested in seeing the final outcome. I especially like your...

    Thanks that makes sense. I’m waiting for my profile to be approved by the expedition portal so I can see your pics. Thanks!

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    When you installed the Paradox coolant system, did you have to get rid of the rear drivers GP controller sensor? It looks like the lines insert at that location.

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    Hahaha! I definitely don't need a truck that I have to name 16 gauge. I was however wanting enough gauges to monitor: coolant, oil, maybe vac pressure (haven't decided yet). I just got carried away with the oil temp and wasn't thinking about pressure. Since the beginning of this thread, I have...

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    I started trying to pull the crossover pipe and I am trouble getting the bolt closest to the IP bracket on the right side off. Honestly, I can't seem to get a socket and ratchet on it without taking down the bracket and IP. Thoughts? Also, have you noticed a significant difference since adding...

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    Now that we have the oil pressure sensor issue corrected. How hard is it to swap to the humvee crossover? Does it match up exactly? Does the heater core hose still come off the crossover? Can you remove the existing 6.2 crossover without removing the injection pump?

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    I don't have a strong argument as to why. It all started when I decided to add a coolant temp gauge. And I thought, hey, while I'm adding gauges maybe I should add an oil temp as well. It sounds like I need to switch gears to an oil pressure though, huh.......

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    I agree that the oil pan is the ideal location. However, I am not a welder. What does your oil temp run in that location?

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    Thanks for the advice. With everything going on right now, I have a 8mo old at home and was trying to minimize getting out by ordering online

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    Thank you for the clarification. I understand now. I pulled the plug by the oil filter housing. I need to get a reducer for the temperature gauge. Does 1/4" describe the square head or is it the thread also? Once I pulled it, I can't get the plug to screw into my thread identifier. I guess what...

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    This may be a dumb question, but the temp gauge sensor you reference that would be across from the glow plug control sensor on the passenger side: if I put a temp sensor there, would it be coolant sensor or oil temperature? Also, what is the sensor with the single orange wire in the pic?

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    I’m still trying to decide where I’m going to place the sensors but I’ve been looking through the parts manual and I’m trying to figure out what sensor is drivers side rear behind the sensor with two wires? Is the sensor in the pic that has one orange wire the sensor that controls the wait light?

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    thanks! I’ll have to find that tool somewhere. Another question about coolant, does the heater core get constant flow from the radiator? Meaning, could I add a tee connection where the heater core hose takes off from the coolant crossover pipe to allow a connection for the coolant temp sensor...
