Owned my MJ for 1 year and finally did cluster swap and A/C

Ok so I finally saw how easy it is to swap my monster fuel guage to the nice full cluster pack. I swapped the oil sending unit and was curoius.. My coolant temp sensor looks identical to the one you are supposed to swap in to make the temp guage work. Do they both look the same but function differently?

 

Also I finally converted and charged my A/C system and it is blowing icy cold. There is a lot of water dumping right in front of the pass tire. Is this normal, as well as my coolant bottle overflowing? I am nervous to run the system because I don't want to overheat and not know because the temp guage doesnt work.

 

Thanks guys

Anyone? I want to hit the JY today.

The sending units are different. For the idiot light it is a switch. For the gauge it is a variable resistance. A/C produces condensation which collects as water under the

Jim is right; switch for the idiot light, thermistor for the gauge. And they can look nearly identical depending on the mfg.

Thanks guys.. I realized that I only have one cooling fan! So I went to local pick n pull and got an electric fan, CTS sending unit, and scored MJ bucket seat brackets in mint condition!!
