I can't find to old thread that shows the easiest place to install an aftermarket water temp sending unit. I could really use some input or a picture if possible..
Thanks

My '89's thermostat housing has two sending units on it. I don't know why. There's one with one wire, a push-on thing like a spark plug type wire connection, and that's on the driver's side, real easy to get to. Then there's another one on top, with a white plastic electrical connector, and it's a little harder to get to because of the intake/throttle body thing over it.
Autozone gave me a replacement sending unit and it was the one that's on top. I replaced it, and the temp gauge still don't work. Rather than rip my dash apart to replace the cluster I'm just putting in an aftermarket gauge.
I don't know why there's two sending units on this truck,... I only want to remove the one that works the gauge. The fan is not electric and though I can turn it by hand, I don't think there's a fan clutch that uses a thermostatically controlled electric switch.
