Default Auto Zone Temp Sender

The autozone sender is made by Wells; it is part # TU5.

Another one I have had good luck with is sold by CarQuest. It is part # 53-7719.

In my tests both of the above senders were very, very close to the old AC Delco # 1513321.


In a case where you have a laser gun and your gauge still reads 7 to 10 degrees hotter on the dial than actual, (and you have tried one or the other of the 2 above senders) try a Sorensen TSU5.



WARNING: STAY AWAY from both GM #12334869 AND NAPA # TS6469SB. Both of these have low resistance and will cause your dash display to read anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees higher indicated temps than actual. (Verify with a laser gun.)
