E-Fan Temp Sensor
Recently, I upgraded from 5.3 to 6.0. Along with that I've swapped the '05 e-fans to Derale 4000 Cfm dual fans.
I would like to step away from using the sensor that's linked to the ECM for controlling the on/off of the e-fans, and use a secondary source. I have also chosen NOT to use any sensor that would make me push a hole through my radiator.
There is a bored hole, at the end of the passenger side headers, that has a very unfortunate size which is NOT applicable to ANYTHING that I could possibly use it for! Am I a little bent? YES!!!
Do you see that stupid plug, it's bore to a 12.175mm!?!?!
I can't find an adapter for the stupid thing...
Anyone a machinist?

I changed the fans from the '05s to 4000cfm Derale Duals. I was using the Nelson harness and the fans started short cycling, which never happened with the 05's.
Both the harness and the fans were getting teerd and b/c I have a new set up, I went with new fans. I wanted to take a diff route and use another one of the engine bungs specifically for a temp sensor for the fans.
If you see that pic that I posted Corey...that damn tap is 12 x 1.75, WTF!! And the sensors thread is 3/8th British. I sure hope that I'm making sense.
