ever replace one of these?
Hello all......
Its a 89 351w.....the part is located on the intake just above the water outlet. It has a temp sensor on it and has a tube that leads to the heater hose and a smaller tube that runs to another part of the cooling system. Does it have a name and does anyone happen to know what one will cost...need to replace mine, rust has rotted a hole through the tube part.....Thanks in advance............Rod

bro ,i think you mean the colant temp sensor. is it mounted on some kind of bolt looking thing that threads into the engine and has branches that branch of to diferent hoses? if yes it costs less than $50 and i advise you to see your ford dealership cause the auto parts stores only have ones made from plastic which wont give accurate readings, u'r computer will read it as to high .you need the brass type. i had this problem with the plastic sensor till i got the brass one. goodluck.

thanks man....my sensor is still good...the part that branches off is rotted...i'll skip the trip to the parts store and head straight to the dealer. I kinda figured it looked like an uncommon part that they wouldn't have.............thanks
