Did you test them in hot water Tony? Cuz if you are waiting for one to move while on the sled you might wait a long time. I don't know if it's because of the placement of the probe in that bypass line or what but I have never had one move much at all on the sled.

PS, I probably have a good one if needed (would have to test to be sure) but can't garauntee you will see it work on the machine.

For whatever its worth, I tried 2 oem gauge then put in a known good Autometer gague all read the same, damn near nothing untill it got really hot. I had the engine out and took apart the lines to this by pass hose. IMO theres nothing there that makes any water travel up that line, I doubt if it gets any flow.
When I get mine back together, which is getting closer, I'm going with a one of the inline sensors in the bigger hose
