Hey Ken and Ryan, I've got a 96' e150 with a 351W in it and the coolant temperature sensor looks like it filled with corrosion.

I recently replaced the cooling system (radiator, water pump, and thermostat/housing) now I can see the coolant temp sensor is broken and wont plug back in.

I'm local to Oceanside, does your team do home visits to diagnose or would I have to bring it in to your shop?
