Standard Ignition Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor P/N:TX43
Standard Ignition TX3K sensor for the 1999-2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4.3L and other vehicles is a coolant temperature sensor kit that tells the vehicle how hot the engine coolant is.
A failing sensor can show up as a temperature gauge that reads wrong or jumps around, or as a warning light on the dash. Those signs alone don't prove the sensor is the problem; a low coolant level can cause them too.
The 1999-2013 GMC Sierra 1500 4.3L and the 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse 3.8L also fit this sensor, along with many other vehicles. If your car isn't named here, look up its year and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
