Coolant Sensor question

I have the stealth ram intake and only have one coolant temp sensor in while I need two in. The stock one wont fit because its to small. Does anyone know how to get a sensor to work on this intake?

Re: Coolant Sensor question

The stock sensor is too small for the port in the manifold? Use a pipe bushing.
