Nevermind. For roughly $250 in parts, it's a no-brainer to replace the sensors. Of course motor mounts, injectors, glows, water pump, belts, hoses will all be replaced as well. My complete list with estimated prices is:
Exhasut Manifolds, MACHINED flat $??
Exhaust Manifold Bolts, NEW $20
Glow plugs, NEW, AC Delco 60G $112
Injectors, REMAN, standard flow $420
Radiator Hoses, NEW $72
Serpentine belt, NEW $52
Water Pump, NEW, 140 gpm $100
Block Heater, NEW, freeze plug type $64
Oil Cooler Lines, NEW, prefer braided upgrade type $140
Motor Mounts $80
Oil Pressure Switch, NEW $35
Intake Air Sensor, NEW $32
ECM Coolant Temp Sensor, NEW $27
Gauge Coolant Temp Sensor, NEW $27
Crankshaft Position Sensor, NEW $52
Fuel Lift Pump, NEW $60
Lift Pump Relay, NEW $20
Fuel Filter, NEW $16
Oil + Filter, NEW $32
Transmission Fluid and Filter, NEW $120
Antifreeze $20
Long Block, NEW $6-7k
Long Block, Freight $500-ish
Labor $2,200-ish
For a grand total of $10,451 (ish). Plus a re-tuned chip ($300). I realize that some of these may be "optional," but it seems like stepping over dollars to pick up pennies when I'm spending $7k on a new block and $2k on labor. Thoughts and opinions are welcome, however.
