Default Coolant sensor on H20 pump (92)

What is required on the threads of the sensor that goes into the water pump? Do I need a sealing compound or is anti seize okay?

I'm getting closer to the finish line, maybe tomorrow she gets cranked up. :rolleyes:

Thanks

The GM manual says to coat the threads with sealer PN 1052080. It also notes to handle the sensor with care, as a damaged coolant temp sensor could affect proper operation of the fuel injection system. Good luck......

Permatex thread sealant works well here. I would not use antiseize.

Thanks for the info. I read my GM manual almost cover to cover and couldn't find anything about the type of thread sealer to use :banghead:
I was worried about the ground connection, or should I be?

Thanks, again :cheers:

I don't think the ECT grounds through the body of the sensor. The ECM/PCM sends a reference signal via one of the wires and provides the ground through the other.
