My aftermarket temp sensors die so quick. They always SEEM to die right after an overheat, which is when I need them most.

Is it heat that kills a temp sensor? Or maybe because I lose coolant on the overheat they're hot and dry? Trying to figure it out so I dont have to keep a spare on hand at all times. The OEM stock probe seems to last forever no matter how many times you overheat or run dry.


I get my sensors probe from Westach which is where I got the gauge from. Maybe I should buy the next probe from somewhere else.

I am not being a wise ass. Why do you consistamtly overheat ? Fix the overheating problem and go from there.
