Finally got around to installing my XS Power LT Headers over the long weekend. As I was finishing up I noticed that I broke the plastic piece on the CTS. The wire still plugs in it just doesn't lock on. How big of an issue is it to replace the CTS?

25 bucks at autozone and about a few mins to change out..i did the same thing when i did my long tubes

Good to know that it is an easy fix.

Super simple to replace - make sure you do it or you will get skewed read outs and not run properly - Happened to mine!

Thanks,Matt

The sensor is approx $10 at Pep or Autozone - Borg Warner part is around $7.99

Borg Warner part #WT5132

Thanks,Matt

I broke mine on Wednesday and ordered a new ACDelco one on Amazon a couple days ago; I'll install it when I get home from my business trip.

How much coolant comes out during replacement?

madmatt9471

Barely any coolant is lost -

You can even put a finger in the threaded hole after removing the old sensor and then slap in the new one -

You DO NOT put anything on the threads as they already are prepared from the factory -

Thanks,Matt

x2. been there done that one... silly LT install

When it broke, I took it out to see what it was so I could order a new one... I already spilled a bunch of coolant in that process, so I hope that was about all that would come out

X3 It's part of the learning curve.

Broke mine last week didn't wanna say anything but it looks I'm not the only one that man handled the header.

I didn't even touch it with my headers... I just went to unclip the plug and the whole connection (including both parts of the clip) just came off in my hand

Got a got new one from NAPA and had it replaced in less than a minute with hardly any loss of coolant. Easy repair!

Now I just have to figure out why I have no power when I hook up my battery? I think I have a ground wire going to the starter instead of he block on the passenger side.
