Temp sensor for 6.2 ?

[rfischba1]

Anyone have a source and part number for the temp sensor for a M1008 6.2 diesel? My mechanic says the parts store keeps sending him a standard TX47 that will not fit . He said it requires a 5/8ths thread.
Thanks

Which one? The one for the cold advance or the one for the idiot light?

The cold advance GM number was/is:
14071047

The idiot light GM number was/is:
25037177

I can't remeber where I got my last cold advance swith, but it was probably Parts Plus.

Forgot the one for the GP controller on the driver's side top rear of the engine. It was/is GM part #10045847

From what I could find, the TX47 appears to be the cold advance switch, but I'm not going to swear to that...

Thanks for the info, I need the temp sensor for the cold advance, I saw teh one you suggested on the Parts Plus, but thy are 3/4's 14 ,and 3/8's 18 thread. My mechanic asid I need a 5/8's thread. Did the one from Parts Plus Auto fit your truck?
I tried teh GM # you posted and came up empty.
Thanks

I haven't replaced one in a few years, so I don't recall the number, but the TX47 appears to be the right switch, from the picture I could find. This is the switch in the rear of the passenger side head with 2 spades sticking out of it. Is that the one you need?

Thats the one but the TX47 thread size is wrong, I need a 5/8s thread.

The new GM number is 10154649, they are around $20 from GM.
