I think he has one like that, his gf got it for him.You should've gotten the one that lets you lay flat so you'd look like you were flying when working on your truck:
... Then you could tell people you "Superman dat '**"!

now thats a cool step lay over tool. ive set up cinderblocks and planks when i did knock sensors on a 3500 pick up. it was just a bit to far of a reach. truck was a bit taller then 1500's
The 3/4 socket on the 5/8 spark plug socket. Worked great.View attachment 266390 View attachment 266391

Will a coolant temp sensor stop the truck from starting? I'm pretty sure but I just want to double check.

Well, found another little "surprise" that my "buddy" left me. I got a P0118 coolant temp sensor code. It autostarted fine before I saw the code. I get outside and see the cel on. I'm like WTF. So I shut it down and ran for codes--got the P0118. I go check and there was electrical tape all around it holding the pigtail on. Obviously he broke the tab, so is the sensor really bad? I didn't have time to mess with it, so I just ordered the sensor from Amazon. Coincidence? Maybe...
$14 for an AcDelco from Amazon, and $25 from Advance for a BW Works?

I don’t think it will. Accidentally broke mines once and I started up ok but then again...

Tony, what's broken, the latch on the connector? Are you replacing that pigtail?

I'm gonna replace the sensor itself, but I think he broke the locking tab on the pigtail itself. I was in a rush and I didn't have much time to investigate. There was electrical tape wrapped around the connection of the sensor so that's what I assumed. Sensor could've coincidentally went bad at the moment. Sensor isn't coming til Monday tho.

Even an aftermarket remote start?

I think with a bad ECT sensor the truck will start but idle and drive terrible because it reverts to the coldest engine temp settings for fuel and timing. (Not positive tho)
Did you ever check for misfires while driving?

I never even got a chance! I was going to scan it while driving it today. After shutting it down I tried to restart it and it just cranks and cranks. All it's giving me is that coolant temp sensor and a maf code that's been there forever(soft code). Idk what else could cause it not to start. I smelled fuel so it isn't the fuel pump, plus wouldn't I get some kind of code if it was--ckt high/low?

Oh shit. What now? Everything was fine before and now it won’t start at all? The sensor not being hooked up won’t keep it from starting using the key.
