While I have my 86 diesel van apart to fix the oil pressure sender, I would like to fix the coolant temp guage too.
So where is the temp gauage sender on the 6.2L?


Thanks a lot,
Phil

On my pickup it's on the front of the left head. Hope this helps. Also there are two different thread sizes listed. Needless to say I got the wrong one the first time. Took about a minute to change, unfortunately I think my guage is bad, because it still doesn't work. May be a connection, just haven't had time to look yet.

oil pressure and now temp sender i think maybe you have a bad dash ground killing both of them. they are very particular about there grounds with all the plastic nowadays.
