1995 GMC Suburban 5.7L : Coolant Temperature Sensor

ACDelco Temperature Sensor: amzn.to/2gPAIFH
19mm Deep Socket: amzn.to/2gPDzi6
1/2" Ratchet: amzn.to/2gPDkU4
1/2" Ratchet Extension Set: amzn.to/2gPCerm
In this video I show you how I changed my Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor in my 1995 GMC Suburban. This method should be pretty similar for most American made vehicles.

Cracking vid and well explained, but for anyone whose gauge isn't working. Your sender is down between 1&2. This sender in the vid feeds your ECU

[@GeekBoy03]

Are there two wires supposed to be going to it? I see only one and temperature gauge still not functioning, even though it does move during test start.

[@Jimicruz34]

I'm going to change both since they are cheap and my gauge isn't correctly reading the coolant temp.

[@irishuwould5185]

@@Jimicruz34id it fix your gauge? Mine is stuck at cold and I replaced the one wire sensor on the block and it didn’t fix it. Wonder if the one on top would fix it

[@johnnyevans8478]

Did this already. Much nicer now.

[@jf4872]

More sealant was not needed. And using RTV is the incorrect sealant. any sealant used on the threads should be 'Thread sealant' aka...liquid Teflon.

That placebo effect works everytime

[@ismaelcarrillo9503]

don't forget the main temperature sensor next to spark plug #1

[@TomasEnriqueAraya]

That's the temperature switch which sends the temp signal to your temp gauge on the cluster.

[@chrisl2090]

@@TomasEnriqueAraya So i recently replaced that temperature sending unit because my gauge was reading low. Still reading low I wonder if i have a grounding issue because i did test the gauge in the dash and it works fine.

I like your style of humor!

Beyond words a rookie

[@TheEndeavoringFamily]

Just changed mine. Thanks!

[@jimmycorbett4611]

Why did you replace this part? Was your engine overheating or giving you any signs that the coolant temperature sensor was bad?

[@jacobstory1311]

It could've been making it hard to start or run rich, possibly a high idle. That sensor is for the ECU. Although he probably just changed it for the hell of it, he did say he wasn't sure if it made his truck run any better.

Very informative an thorough

[@angeloafanador9798]

The one on the ciylder head. To order it the its called a temp. Sending unit I had a head Tim looking for the rite coolant sensor. Its actually not considered a sensor if this helps anyone God bless you. This is a coolant sensor . Great video.

Two words dude "SPELL CHECK"

Nedra Kastor scree w speak cheak

[@EliBlogs]

I will call you the ACDelco guy

[@MarioGarciaV1]

My friend..do you need to empty the fluid ...or just dont get out the liquid

[@terrydoberstein6742]

Was your motor running rich? Or did you just want to change the sensor?

[@babuddha]

If you actually fixed your auto, is there a placebo effect?

[@kellismith4329]

Did you use a deeper socket to tighten it ?

[@drewsquickfix]

Good video ha ha I like how you are ocd about everything

[@1RoadGarage]

Yes sir!

[@dougg1075]

Did you tighten with a deep well socket?

[@TH3C001]

My old coolant temp switch has the gauge read somewhere between 100 and 210. New coolant temp switch has the gauge read somewhere between 210 and 260. Coolant temp sensor for the computer when connected to a scanner reads 188. How did I mess that up?

[@abneranaya4534]

I'm having the same issue. By any chance did you figure out what it was?

[@lazarovoorheeshernandez8674]

Does anyone know why mine keeps going out on my 96 GMC SUBURBAN 5.7L

[@worstnightmare9772]

I thought there was two coolant temperatures sensors

[@edwinalonzo7841]

Yea I just found one on the side of mines

[@e.hernandez8732]

Did you hand tighten all the way

[@alexpatton7356]

Emanuel Hernandez he torqued it with a tool

[@aaronchavez2192]

Do 1995 camaro 😂
