    this sensor is the suggested one for an...adjustable fan controller.
    when you click to order, it ask you to choose a...temperature at the top of the page...(185/195)

    question: how can it work with the adjustable controller if it's a fixed temp (185*) sensor...on at 185*...(isn't that more like a...temp sender?)
    operating heat range...35*-480*? (more like a...temp sensor)?

    :bouncy:...Thanks for any help...:Handshake

    Looks like Speedway left out the part about the switch :huh:

    SPAL has two versions, not sure which one Speedway is selling: http://www.spalusa.com/store/main.aspx?p=CategoryBody&c=FAAC

    it will work with a stock GM sensor...
    :hmmm:...i just had a thought...when i removed the Powerjection III system from my car, I left the...stock GM sensor w/pigtail on the motor...
    :slap:...that's the one I need.

    Yep my Liberty fan draws around 23A and is PWM on the factory appl. The controller I run is a 30 max constant as well.

    here is a great option
    Hayden makes a couple different ones
    mine is p# 3647
    Its ajustible from 160-210 degrees
    and its about $25 on amazon with a lifetime warrenty
    or you can pick one up at any Oreilly store for about $35
    this one has a push in sensor and a replaceble relay(comes with a 30amp)
    put you can always put a bigger one in it
    here are the other options from hayden
