Ok everybody...…..Got the Coolant sensor replaced, took it for a long drive and it behaved itself. I guess we can call this one fixed. Thanks for everyones help.

They definitely come in handy for other things.

My 96 is OBD2. I have the new sensor but haven't put it in yet. By time I get home from work it's 97 degrees outside. I'll try and put it in tonight.

Have you ever heard of a plumbers wrench? It's for reaching up to sink faucet connections from the bottom. Worked great for replacing that sensor without removing the intake.

Had the codes read yesterday and it only had one. Coolant temperature sensor. Ordered a new sensor A/C Delco will be here today. Keep you updated on the results.

I will have to see if any of these yahoo's around here know how to use a scanner. The check engine light will come on for a little while then go back out.

I wasn't sure. I'll keep checking.

I have a 96 6.5 and it keeps going into high idle all of a sudden. Sitting at a stop sign and it will lunge forward when it does it. Between 40 and 50 mph it keeps down shifting then upshifting continously. Replaced PMD. Got a #9 resister in it. Will 180 degree thermostats cause it to do that...

I have already ordered everything. I am one of those impatient people that have to have it now. Lol

In all actuality my truck never really gets hot. Runs on the cool side. Did it that one time in stop and go traffic pulling my camper going uphill.

That is something I can understand. Now I know what needs to be done.

If you have the dual thermostat, does that mean you might already have the high output water pump?

The more I find out about this truck the more I'm thinking I shouldn't have bought it.

Great! Now it looks like I am going to be buying a water pump. And another clutch.
