NTK Air Charge Temperature Sensor,Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor P/N:EF0011
NTK EF0013 coolant temperature sensor for the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 V6 3.9L or V8 5.2L, the 1994-2003 Ram 1500 V8 5.9L and other vehicles tells the ECM how hot the engine coolant is by sending an analog signal. Also called an engine coolant temperature sensor, it may sit on the cylinder head, engine block, thermostat housing or intake manifold.
A check engine light, an erratic or dead temperature gauge, or a cooling fan that runs erratically or not at all can mean this sensor is worn, though the thermostat or the fan motor can be behind the same signs, so find the cause before you replace anything.
The 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 V6 3.9L or V8 5.2L, the 1994-2003 Ram 1500 V8 5.9L and the 1990-2003 Dodge Dakota take this coolant temperature sensor, as do many other vehicles. Wires and probe length match OE, and NTK builds it to meet or exceed OE specifications.
One coolant temperature sensor; the vehicle takes one.
This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this ECT sensor the right one for the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 V6 3.9L or V8 5.2L?
Yes. NTK EF0013 fits the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 V6 3.9L or V8 5.2L and the 1994-2003 Ram 1500 V8 5.9L. It fits many other vehicles too, so look up your own car on the Buyer's Guide tab.
Is there thermal conductive grease in the NTK EF0013 sensor?
Yes. NTK EF0013 has thermal conductive grease inside its brass housing, which shortens response time and passes temperature to the thermistor accurately.
Does this coolant temperature sensor come with thread sealant or an o-ring?
Thread sealant or an o-ring is already installed on the sensor where applicable. Mounting clip(s) are also included where applicable.
Do the wires and probe on this sensor match the original?
Yes. The wires and probe length on NTK EF0013 match OE, and the thermistor placement in the housing is set for proper output.
Can engine overheating mean the coolant temperature sensor needs replacing?
It can. Overheating is one of the reasons to replace this sensor, since it feeds the cooling fan and the temperature gauge. A shop can test the sensor circuit.
