Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Mag-hytec temp sender

[02diesel]

I am getting ready to install my temp sending unit from the Autometer gage this weekend. Does the sending unit just screw into the hole in the side of the new hy-tec pan or is there an adaptor needed. Also the mag-hytec manual states to put LPS all purpose antiseize on the sender threads. Is this a better way to seal the threads rather than using teaflon tape? Sorry for all the dumb questions.



Thanks

Any time you use teflon tape on a fitting, you run the risk of leaving small tape fragments in the threads when you remove the temp sender or disassemble the joint. In some systems, these small fragments can become a big problem.



The same thing goes for silicone type sealants. Basically, its best not to have any fragments left over when you remove the sender.
