The new one is under warranty, so I may just swap it out after checking a few things.
That's a good move, my experience with aftermarket sensors or anything electrical is terrible. If the part is NS1 at the dealer, go to Pick and Pull and grab a few.
I read somewhere that aftermarket replacement parts like this don't play well with the computer? I priced a 'genuine' Mopar one and the price was $70-$100. I bought a Standard Brand one from ORileys for $42.
With my bum ankle, I haven't had the ability to go wander a PNP for parts.

Silly question? Any chance the temp sensor is bad and possibly going open or giving the wrong value to the ECM. Just a thought
i have seen temperature sensors act like that when they have a "coating" of sorts on the bulb that sees the coolant. when shined up to "new" brass, sometimes they come back to life. would be an easy thing to try.
Is there more than one? Temp gauge seems to work correctly.

Before I scampered off to ORileys, I took a look the new IAC I had installed. Unlike the old one, it IS adjustable. Hmmmm. Went to Standards website, and found instructions on how to adjust it. My part came with no instructions, and I didn't know I HAD to adjust it.
Well, I made an adjustment and have it running now. I'll see how it is once it gets up to temp.

There are actually two temp sensors on the Magnums. One is for the gauge, the other is for the computer.
They are close to each other, but one kinda hides back in there.

Yeah, the PCM is reading in milivolts.........if them Jobber Clowns can't get a cotter pin hole in the right spot on ball joints, you can be certain their voltage range is at least a decimal point out of spec

You are so missing out on the finer things, I just picked up a Hurst shifter from PNP for 7 dollars yesterday! Glad you got it fixed, sounds good to me.

Well, still not 100%. (haven't made more adjustments since video) It's in the upper 50's here now and I used the truck tonite to run a few errands after work.
Cold start, started fine, idle was a little low, but it did idle. Full temp, idled as in video.
However, that gray area between not quite cold and not quite hot caused issues. I had to two foot it a few times until the temp came back up.
Its always sounds ignorant and bad to say "I saw on the internet...." But via the internet watching legit techs/shop owners on Youtube- and repair podcasts I learned about 5 years ago when it comes to certain models - replacement sensors and computers must be an OEM unit and is the the only choice- no matter how much $$$. The trusted aftermarket name brands of yesteryear have thrown in the towel and went extra cheapie cheap.

100% The first one that popped into my mind when reading that statement was MOOG, but it seems prevalent with all aftermarket companies now. Unless I do something to eliminate the factory electronics in my truck, I'm pretty sure they're gonna be its downfall above anything else.

I was going to suggest Microsquirt, which is what I am using on my 51 Plymouth's EFI swap. However, you are still stuck with poor aftermarket parts for sensors and such. Junkyard here we come.
