Temperature Sensor

Thanks, Its and RV trick to add a Temperature Gage to compensate the Hot 
Idiot Light on the dash, also know a few guys that have used the same Ideal 
on the Transmission oil cooling line but used a 3/4 in. copper tee with the 
bulb in the tee so it did not restrict the flow.  they didn't won't to drop 
the pan and have some one weld a threaded bulb for the sensor.   By the way 
thanks for not pointing my sailing problem........... My wife says my RV 
looks like an airplane with all the temperature, oil, and battery gauges.

I hadn't thought of Copper tube.
I may be able to find a piece here at work as there was some large pieces 
left after the last renovation.
I think I may try mounting a wet sensor in the return hose. As long as I 
keep it down around or below the 210 degree range it should be fine. So I'm 
thinking that if I pick up one of the G.M aftermarket wet sensors that trip 
at 195-200 range they will kick on when the returning coolant gets to the 
point that it needs the fan on.
I know 87-90 XJ's had the sensor in the radiator tank close to the return 
hose, IIRC!
  If I had thought of it I would have had a bung added to the lower radiator 
tank, but it is in and mounted and I fooled with it all last weekend to get 
it  how it needed to be with the G.M electric fan on in. I'm not pulling it 
out again!
