Hi,
I have a 1996 Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel and have a kind of strange situation.
I noticed that about 1 minute after starting up the truck, I could smell rubber burning.
Upon close inspection, I found that the smoke was coming from the top of the fuel heater. This is where the temperature sensor is located.
I disconnected the wires to the heater and no smoke.
I then plugged the heater back in and it started smoking again.
I then attempted to pull out the temperature sensor, but it is either stuck or isn't meant to be removed from the socket.
Finally, I slid the grommet out of the temperature sensor socket and the smoke stopped.
I can't figure out what is going on here, but I am considering replacing the temperature sensor located on top of the heater.
My question is: Is there a part number for this sensor? Or do I have to replace the whole heater?
Thanks,
Alan
