Dis Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hey guys I am New here i am now the proud owner of a 1990 4.0l renix thanks to the other forums regarding this, I am 95% complete. I am in the process of swapping out my idiot gauges for a full panel, i have only one issue so far and that is the part number for coolant temperature sending unit. I bought one from autozone its part number is tu108, however i do not know if that is for an idiot switch or for the temperature gauge, if someone has a part number it would be awesome. thanks Dis i have almost every major auto part store near by i prefer, oreillys or autozone(only bc they had it in stock) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I bought one from autozone its part number is tu108, however i do not know if that is for an idiot switch or for the temperature gauge, if someone has a part number it would be awesome. thanks Dis i have almost every major auto part store near by i prefer, oreillys or autozone(only bc they had it in stock) That is the correct sensor for the gauge No, it's not. Autozone part #TU108 clearly states that it is a coolant temperature "switch." That's for use with idiot lights. The listing also has a "related parts" area that includes "Coolant temperature sensor" http://www.autozone.com/engine-management/temperature-switch?filterByKeyWord=TU108&fromString=search&isSearchByPartNumber=true Problem is, if you click the link to the related "coolant temperature sensor," it shows one with a pigtail and it says it fits the thermostat housing. That's not the correct part for a Renix, that would be for an HO. In other words, Autozone (as usual) doesn't have a clue. This one, from Advance, looks to be the right one: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/bwd-engine-coolant-temperature-sender-wt761/5973805-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both cross to Napa 6053 which is the one I used and was previously mentioned by Dom. So yes TU108 will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 So yes TU108 will work. Yep. Using the same sender. The Zone calls it a switch on their site but it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dis Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yes this renix coolant sending unit TU108 did work just fine (note it was a 1/2 deep socket and the original was 13mm deep socket) fyi the oil sending unit was PS133 part numbers are from Autozone.
