Trying to locate an EGR Temp Sensor

My Advanced Auto ordered one, but it was just the Thermostat Temp Sensor. They can't get the EGR Temp Sensor. AutoZone told me the same thing. If any of you have a better source for this, send me a link.

 

Thanks!

try running it to see if it changes how the truck runs. From reading the manual all that switch does is open and close the egr valve. (somebody correct me if I am wrong please) If that is the case I wouldn't worry about it unless you have to smog the truck.

I decided to MacGyver it today.

 

I took the EGR Temp Sensor out, and removed as much crap around the contact as I could. Looked like it had epoxy on it before. I used the dremel and the smallest tip grinder I had, kind of like a dentist tool. Cleaned about 1/8" of blade showing. Put a new connector on the wire, and plugged it in. Then I wrapped electrical tape around the sensor making a dam, and filled it with epoxy. Really looks pretty good and solid.

Yeah man that is the best way. I did that but it started leaking. I really hope yours holds up. Peace!

 

 

Edit: believe me it would be cheaper to locate an l16 non smog intake and a non smog exhaust. Run that and take that shit off if smog is not a problem.

I'm so glad I found this post. Mine is in good condition except the guy who owned the truck before me cut the 2 wires. By chance can you tell/show me where these are supposed to go. I can't find the wiring in the Chilton guide.thanks!
