Air temp sensor

**alkyhaul** · 02-17-2008, 06:15 AM

My temp sensor readout in the rearview mirror has been erratic and reads about 10 to 20 deg hotter than ambient. I seemed to notice it shortly after putting on the winter front grille cover. Anybody seen this? I suspect that the sensor is behind the grille, and that might be making the mileage drop....due to the inacuracy of the temp vs ambient?

Im not 100%sure but i beleive the sensor is right beside the trans cooler, mounted on the same bracket.

Yes it will be off due to the winter cover. There are some pics on http://Kennedydiesel.com in the tech tips that show you how to relocate it if you want it to read right with winter cover on the truck.
