Well it's been a few days since I dried it up and still the same. I unhooked the block temp sensor for now and it seems fine on the coolant sensor. Guess I'll try replacing it and see what happens.

One of the first things I do when i get a new truck is pull all those dumb sensors and senders and put in the real thing. Now if i could figure out how to put he gauges in the dash in place of the factory ones. It was a lot simpler before these printed circuit boards lol.

I wanna put some real gauges on my 6.9, but can't figure out a good place to put 'em. I'm gonna hate having new ugly modern looking gauges on my nice old 80's brown vinyl dash.

I took out the stereo and put the gauges in it's place. Ithen moved the stereo to the center console.

Plenty of under dash mounting pods available. Or You can custom fab a pillar pod.

I know alot of easy places to put it in my '90 F250. But my '87 Econoline, not sure, has the old style 70's dash and I love it!

That is a cool place though, where the radio is supose to be.

Man I can never put one of those new CD players in an old truck, just doesn't look right. I'm happy with my factory AM/FM cassette deck!

Yes I am an old fashion guy. lol I wish I had an old radio with *****, that be even nicer
