I had to wait a couple weeks for mine to come in. I ordered on November 17th and didn't get it until December 2nd. I didn't get a backorder notification though. Hopefully you won't have any problems.

Here is an alternative part # 13577379 the only difference is that the fuel connection tubes are shorter.

I think it's hilarious when people spout off about "you get what you pay for" and then pay 4x the list price for something just because they haven't bothered to look for it somewhere other than a vendor.

I frakking love threads like this. I'd probably get banned if I pointed out some of the markups vendors use.

DO IT you won't banned. If you wanna pm me I will. Heck I think I'll make a thread tittle alternative part number for rip-off parts lol.

Thanks Jose, I'll look into it. I'll probably be waiting a bit for my ecu, so we'll see how it all comes together.

agreed!

but no matter how much you show people a less costly alternative they WILL buy the higher cost parts knowing the same thing for less is available.... i just don't understand it.

Found this information from another forum. The harness part no. from GM is 13352241. If you know how to play with connector, you can pull the wire out from the harness and insert new pins and your own wires.

Hope this help.

 

[vip09]

I found that also, but it was cheaper to buy the connector, terminals, and seals separately.

 

[TURBRO]

for part number 13577379 how much shorter are the tubes?

 

[vip09]

These are the more compact versions, the first one being the one that jose referenced with the alternate part number.

 

[mister3]

duh... first pic is smaller "alternate" part #. what's the part # for the second one pictured?

from what i have heard both versions are on a HUGE GM backorder

I'm having somebody test this sensor for me on a Hydra. The missing bit in all the wonderful information posted here is: what is the exact pinout of the sensor. Looking into the sensor-side connector with the fins pointing up just as in the pictures shown above, which of the pins from left to right are power, ground and signal?

Hopefully you report back with good news

 

[Franz54]

So they shipped the alt part number right away and it should be arriving on the 11th. Thanks again for the info.

 

[raul_obrien]

http://www.gmpartseast.com has them in stock.

I may have missed this bit of info, but here goes: Would this sensor be better suited to the feed line after the filter, or in the return side?

 

[vip09]

It goes on the return line.

 

[mister3]

return side

 

[bionikal]

What bothers me with that is the ECU wont see the new fuel until AFTER its gone through the injectors =/

or am i completely wrong?

(also for those googling - the ford flex fuel thread is M12x1.5)

 

[mister3]

the amount of time to hit the return is milliseconds and hasn't ever caused a injured engine i am aware of. the E readings are near instant and only time it will change is when fuel is pumped/mixed and generally that doesn't happen under WOT conditions

 

[bionikal]

I guess thats true.

you aren't exactly going to be flogging it when the fuel mix occurs.


Is there any reason for it NOT to be pre-injectors?

 

[vip09]

Not sure if it will hold up to the pressure, and the tube is only 3/8" (6AN).
