WIF Sensor Threads?

[btfarm]

What is the thread size & per inch in a DMax WIF sensor? I don't feel like paying somebody a bunch of $ for a plug if I can make my own.

Idk, but it's pretty big and I guarantee it's metric.

You could get the Nictane filter head and use the cat filters with no WIF.

Mike, I think it may be M36x1.5.. If you are going to do away with it I would also suggest switching over to a Nictane set up or something similar.

Do you get a CEL if you remove the WIF?

Nope

Nope, as the WIF sensor closes the circuit, so it's normally open. Just now there's no chance of it closing, lol.

No chance of it closing after the wimpy ass wires break off either. And after 2 trucks and well over 200k miles with these and no more than a couple of drops of water ever, I just dont think I need a WIF sensor to screw around with that doesn't have anything connected to it. Don't know that I need the Nictane setup. What's the advantage?

 

[Ed HD]

Better filters, ditch the WIF sensor, easier changing, AFAIK. Still running OEM stuff here...

There is a huge cost advantage in filter costs plus you get a 2 micron filter. The last time I picked up filters I paid $14.00 each the best AC-Delco price I can find is $33.36 so there is a big cost difference. The switch over will pay for itself very quickly.

Got more info? Pics? Thread? I'm down to 1 or 2 Parker/Racors left. They ARE 2 micron BTW and have been for 2 years or so now. But yeah, about $35 a copy... I'm interested in saving money. 10-15 k interval?

Mike, Nictane makes one and Under Ground Diesel make one also. I have the Nictane and don't know much about the other. Here are a couple of PDF's that should help.
