What is this pigtail?




It's in the coolant housing so I assume it's coolant temp. If looked online and none on the pigtails that show up look like this 2 wire one with flat spade like terminals. Anyone know what this is and where to get a pigtail or ideas on repair?

Dealer just called me back from when I called him this morning as he acted like he didn't know anything. He said he finally found it under engine oil temp sensor pigtails. Feel free to delete thread if it's in the way. I appreciate all your help with my truck thus far.

Oh, I don't think it should be deleted, if for anything how degraded the wires are. Did this truck go through anything extra ordinary?

You do know that this is the 6.0 diesel forum, right? Is that a carb in the photo?

What is the benefit of getting rid of it ? This is the first I've heard of this.

To the first poster. .. no nothing crazy... This is the only one like that. I've got a new one going on it now

You're right and the dealer is right, kinda. The sensor IS a coolant temp sensor. This sensor & plug is the same as the oil temp sensor, so they are interchangeable.
