Aptiv (Delphi) connector for Coolant Temperature Sensor
Is this the right connector to plug in to the GM 2134333 Coolant Temperature Sensor?
Our coolant temp sensor cracked, and the harness connector and the part of the sensor that it latches to fell down on the header pipe and melted. Needless to say it isn't running good this way. I've got a new genuine GM sensor on the way. I'd rather just trim the ends of the wires and install a new connector, rather than splicing on a new "pigtail." I have all the correct crimp tools, and I'm pretty sure I even have some of the Delphi/Aptiv 150.2 "pull to seat" terminals already. I really just need the mating connector piece for the sensor. That one looks right to me, but I was hoping for confirmation.
If it matters, this is a LM7 engine, factory heads, from a 2001 pickup truck or suburban. The engine and matching transmission are installed in a 1947 DeSoto.
The same coolant temp sensor was used on a lot of Gen III, Gen IV, and even Gen V engines from the late 1990s up through 2020 at least. I figured my C5 friends have probably had to deal with replacing this sensor and/or connector, so there may be some first hand knowledge here.
