I pulled out my coolant sensor while working to replace my water pump =
and thermostat.

Strange (?), the sensor is mounted in an extension.  The aluminum =
extension has what looks to be a sensor on the end of it.  When I =
seperated the two, the actual sensor looks normal except for what looks =
like a little lithium grease inside the extension where the actual =
sensor resides.

What's odd, is that the threads on the extension are the same size =
threads on the sensor.

Why would this combination exist?  Am I missing something, here?

Can I dump the extension and just put only the sensor back in the block?

Does anyone have any incite into this combination/situation?

Thanks,

Bob
