Here"s a picture of the fitting that came out. Other fitting doesn"t have the probe on it. Called the previous owner, he seems to think the motor is a 92 or 93, in an 89 truck. Fitting is 3/8 npt, and push style clip which is completely corroded.
The question, does the "probe" on top of this fitting open a bypass to force oil through the engine oil cooler, or does it just direct some oil to the cooler.
I am planning on either blocking the ports, or making a short loop.
Answers from the local auto parts guys is usually, "89, hmm, thats old, I"m not sure" and since they can"t find it on the computer they"re lost. I need a good Napa or similar near me.
Thanks in advance,
Rick
