Going to add Coolant leval sensor

Guys I have no idea why our trucks don't have one of these but im going to add one somehow


Ideally it would install into the top of the Degas Bottle and Hang down into the fluid And trigger a red LED light when Low. IDK about this option but I thought if mounted in top of degas less likely to leak plus the sensor would have to hit a specified length


Thru the cap may work if it unplugged and didn't jack the cap up


or maybe its a Sensor spliced into it somewhere close to Y pipe at degas




Lets hear any ideas or thoughts


Its just to stupid of a Reason to have a Catastrophic fail and if a fluid sensor isn't Submersed in fluid then more often then not it reports wrong and not in your favor most the time and a lot dump fluid quick


How many HG jobs could have been prevented by this I bet the number would blow our mind

Heres a sensor for an F800 maybe can adapt to the degas or put a ''T'' in below the bottle to tie it in.eBay item number:331818634628
