Description
Premium aftermarket replacement air inlet temperature sensor from PAI Industries. The 650662 reads intake air temperature on Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines of the DDEC III era and replaces Detroit Diesel 23515250. It has a 3/8 in -18 NPT thread and a rectangular 2-pin connector.

- Black smoke under load from incorrect fueling
- Hard starting, particularly in cold weather
