The 6.0 liter PowerStroke E350

is an amazing little sensor and it works perfectly. Got it for my van with an E350 6.0L engine, installing the transducer (sensor) was a real pain in the ass. Just so you know, if you're planning on getting this for a van like me, here's what I came across: I had to disassemble the filter and intake manifold assembly. had to dismantle the intercooler hose to the intake manifold elbow and hold on to the engine wiring harness the entire time just to gain access to the auxiliary fitting on the side of the 2nd fuel filter housing and you will need it if you have a diesel truck or van ford (http:/ /www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DKM4PU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00). In a van I don't recommend connecting the sensor directly to the fuel. Since the number 2 intake temperature sensor which is at the very front and in the intake manifold is not free which is what I did I went on a quest and made a hydraulic hose with fittings to match the sensor's threat and an adapter (2ft long) put the adapter on one end and the sensor on the other end. and even then it was very. very. VERY. hard and tight to slide this adapter to the side of the fuel tank with a hose (now I know better if I ever do this in a van again I'll use an L-piece and a hose that attaches to the top of the fuel tank Filter). Lid. this version works exactly the same, and you save a heck of a lot on the van). You will also need at least 3 of these for a correct and safe connection to the power supply, the ground can go straight to any metal on the car). Also take the YELLOW (yellow = fuel grade) threat teflon tape (do not use the white on any fuel system), the other end of the hose with the sensor I rerouted next to the power steering reservoir. , for my convenience and easy access, it is your choice where to put yours. Otherwise, the sensor has very good daylight coverage and nighttime dimming, and the magnifying glass is a plus in my opinion. Here are some photos. (ps: I don't care how the gauge looks on my dash, I just took it for convenience.) Hope this helped
