i have a radiator, and its got the dang sensor installed on the tank.
i have a few friends with aftermarket(stock replacement) rads and theres came with a plug installed here. the plugs are in the garbage long ago. i need one. does anyone know the size or where to buy one?
i dont need my sensor, it will look much better with it removed.
thanks.

 

to the top

 

wait let me understand this, you need a plug to go where the sensor was??

 

correct.
ive seen several radiators come from advance auto parts that have some sort of plug/cap type thing. never really thought about it being useful.
ive been told some of the earlier v6 models dont use a low coolant sensor, so the aftermarket radiator comes with a fitting installed in the spot where the sensor would normally go.
called and asked for a v6 and a v8 radiator and its the same part #. hate to spend 189 bucks for a plug. LOL
preciate any help.

thanks for the bump too!

 

hmmmm, i assume that it is a tapped hole and you could possibly put a short bolt in there, if thats the case go to the hardware store and start lookin around lol.

is it threaded? like the tranny lines that go in the rediator?

 

the sensor is held in by a clip. im almost scared to remove it. it looks pretty fragile. i dont wanna take out the sensor until i source a plug/cap.

 

is this an ls1 radiator? i cant even picture it in my head, if u can take a pic of it or tell me where its located at i can try and see.

 

ls1 radiator. its located on the passenger side. just below the radiator cap, between the automatic trans cooler lines.
thanks!

 

the only thing ihave on that side is between the top line for the tranny and the cap, there is the return line, thats all i see??

 

no lil square box with a female plug(weatherpack style)?

 

nope, the only thing it might be on is the radiator for the a/c, but mine is off the car so i dont know. but no i dont see it, can you get a pic?

 

ill see what i can do.
