Any problems with the digital switchs?

91 S10 · 10-11-2009, 04:31 AM

Hey I just bought a zirgo digital ajustable fan switch, I like the box and all, but the 2 small wires going to the probe that they tell you to run in the upper rad hose, is that safe? anyone over tighten the hose clamp and wreck the wires or have any leaks? Any way i can stick a probe in the fins of the rad while still using this switch box?

Ive ran my prob stuck in the radiator and in the upper intake hose.

When I ran it in the upper hose, I had to use two hose clamps to get it to seal properly

what if where to get the fine thread gear clamps? how long have you had your prob installed? Any problems?

Sorry, I mispelled probe in my first post.

Anyways, This was with the worm drive clamps, and it leaked. I had to use two. Either way, it's not a big deal.

I don't have the probe type anymore, but I ran it for about 6 years on my Z-71 with no problem, and on a 76 F-100 for about 4 years before I got rid of it, and its still doing fine now (another 4 years later)

i can send a sensor housing that has been drilled to accept the probe and you can use epoxy to install it if this is the way you want to go

or if you want the thread in housing alone i will locate one and send it out

So where would the probe be then? I have my port on my intake filled with the temp sensor going to my aurora gauge

So Do you usaually run this in the thermostate housing? or ? got a pic? I like the sounds of this way better then running two gear clamps! Any chance you have a probe that goes into the fins of the rad?

What's wrong with using 2 clamps?

And each application would be different. You won't necessarily need two clamps, just depends.

there should be another port on the side of the block like the ones found on small blocks if not a "tee" fitting can be utilized to access the port for both applications
