Default naw

I heard from him a couple of weeks ago. He popped in on the 'other forum' to cast dispersions and take a few cheap shots and then left before anyone could get a retaliatory 'swing' in

Default AWE sells the green coolant temp sensor for $5 with a new 0-ring. that's where I got mine.

replace when the engine is dead cold.

pop (no need to remove) the black plastic retaining clip from above and reach your left hand (and arm) all the way around the engine to replace it. have fun finding it it's at the fire wall under some hoses right behind the engine.

can't hurt to replace it for $5.
