Hello guys,

I first want to thank you for giving me the information I was looking for last time. I was able to do the work without paying for it. Did it my self, thank you for the help.

I am trying to replace my “engine temperature sensor “ for my truck listed above extended cab and I am not able to find it. I have one of those books that show you where things are located and I keep having issues finding.

Is it possible that you have a diagram for it? Please let me know and thanks again.

The sensor is on the back side of the engine. You can remove the valve cover for better access, but some people have replaced the sensor without removing it. Here are some pictures to help out.
