I went to a electric wholesaler in KC yesterday and picked-up 6 larger sensors with same ratings. These are about twice to 3 times the size as the Vishay and made by NTE. My IDM is a 110 so I used a 75k ohm. The only diff is the Vishay resistors are acurate to 1% these are 2%. I checked all b4 leaving the store, they all tested within .25% of 75k ohm @ .5 watt.
The Mod itself was much easier than I thought it would be, did everything twice just because it seemed to simple. Was actually shocked when the truck fired and ran when tested. The silicone will dry tonight and I'll take it for a spin tomorrow.
I did my mod on a wal-mart lunchbox in my home office
I only took this pic to dispell a myth, you don't need to turn the lid into a crushed soda can to remove.
The size jump from 1 resistor to another is seen here. The Vishay resistors body is roughly the same size as the stock resistor.
Heres where it is in the IDM.
And the finished product. I had it in then out so many times unsure that it was right that I melted the corner of the green box next to it :doh:
And thats it, next one will take about 10 minutes.
This was completed on both my DD's a year and combined 50k miles ago. Trucks both run flawlessly.
