Does anyone know the tread size for the regusa final drive temperature sender? Quarter inch or 3/8?

I bent mine with the woodblock supports when I jacked the motor home up. I am not looking forward to putting my finger over the hole to determine what thread size the sender was. I would rather buy the sender and do a quick switch out.

Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

Take care all,
Tom K.

I realize it takes a bit of contortion, but why not just drain it down a ways into a clean container and then pour it back when the sender is replaced?

Johnny, absolutely easy to do, But my better thought was that I could purchase one now then climb under there once and knock it all out. I have learned that you can be surprised how much knowledge some people have on hand.. I thought one may have known the thread sized for that center. No worries, as I purchased it once already I'm old just call ragusaAnd do the same again.

Just to complete the info for the archive, I just called Ragusa per Scott's advise and they were great. I was told it is a 1/4 thread tap. I assume NPT.

Thank all and take care,
Tom K.
