Found this hanging under passenger side of the Radiator. Looks like a temp sensor to me. It appears to be all plastic. I’m in the middle of a transmission swap and was tracing cooler line leak when I found this. I can’t see where it goes, truck is up on stands too tall for me to look from above. I think the previous owner said the radiator was changed during the motor swap.
Im very tired, in a lot of pain, and frustrated because this truck supposedly has a motor with only 40k on it. I can tell the block & heads look new, still has stickers on them. I don’t know if it’s a Jasper, Ford, or ? But I do know the shop wasn’t professional. Looks like they reused exhaust manifold bolts which a couple are loose. Trans bell housing to engine bolts were not torqued, little more than hand tight. No blue thread locker on anything so far. That really hard to get at top starter bolt, just leave it out! Oil filter adapter gasket leaking, oil pan gasket leaking at the rear (hopefully not rear main seal) Trans is out now but I haven’t crawled back under yet to see. It might be the oil filter adapter leaking following the pan lip back, it’s a very substantial leak. If the trans swap turns out successful, next project is engine oil leaks. I think they reused the vct solenoid seals in the valve covers, there leaking or I know at least one side is leaking oil.
Can someone tell me where this is supposed to be? I’m in too much pain now to search for it.
