Luckily, I have another new tank with a sensor. The current tank didn't have a sensor in the box. We drove it around I the rain all day yesterday. I like how it doesn't spin the wheels. Traction is instant. Our other two daily drivers spin the wheels too easily on wet roads.

The new Bosch starter spins the engine like a fidget spinner. It was easy to replace with the intake out. The left side should be trouble free for years!
Nicely done. Yeah, I hadn’t realized how weak my 20 year old starter had become until I put a rebuilt one in it (failed in the grocery store lot). The new starter sounds so much stronger.
