Subject: [Shotimes] V6 Woodruff key? Anyone know what grade steel it is made
	of?
Message-ID: <ea5e44170707181525w45dcec9fqd21b13cb8855b928@mail.gmail.com>

Anyone know what material other than steel these are made of? As in the
grade of the steel or whatnot. I'm looking into having a replacement batch
of them made up since I came across a new one in the bag, at the bottom of a
box of parts I have.

Thanks

The Machinery's Handbook recommends either 1030, 2330, or 3130.  We are mainly
concerned with shear strength.  Since the key is being held in close contact
with the crank and sprocket without movment, wear over time should not be a
problem.

Subject: [Shotimes] cooling fan relay

so my cooling fan on the 95mtx doesn't come on. Not a problem on the  
highway but it is getting hot in city traffic. The fan works if you  
give it direct power. The 50 amp fuse is good. So it's either a  
relay, bad wire, or sensor. I'm thinking relay because turning on max  
a/c doesn't make it run and if it was a sensor I would think that  
control would bypass it. Question is where are the relay and sensor  
located? There is a relay mounted on the radiator frame by the  
driver's side headlamp. Is that it? Anybody know or have any other  
suggestions?

Unfortunately the relay is part of the Integrated Relay Control Module
(IRCM).  There are other relays in that box for the fuel pump and other
parts.  It's a metal box attached to the radiator support under the plastic
"tool tray".  I would think you could find a known good one for cheap.

The temp sensor used is actually the same sensor that feeds the engine
temperature to the Powertrain Cotrol Module (PCM).  The PCM is what sends
the signal power to the relay to turn the fan on based on the engine
temperature.  The sensor is a 2 wire sensor in the housing near the
thermostat.  The one wire sensor is strictly used to control the temperature
gauge in the car.

So let me say that registering at Sears was a good idea for the wedding.  I
got a small box of tools, nothing really impressive except a new 1/2" torque
wrench - but I also recieved a large stack of gift cards.

So the wedding santa brought Zach all new toolboxes in trade for those gift
cards!  No more junky plastic jobs, I can actually put tools in (gasp)
drawers!!!

Sorry, I'm all excited.....
